Zines and Blogs

Out of the readings we had, the one I found most particularly interesting was the definition of zines along with Zines Are Not Blogs: A Not Unbiased Analysis by Jenna Freedman. After reading two articles before this one I already had the idea that Zines were at least somewhat like blogs. Although obviously biased, I did agree with most of the opinions the author shared. However I don’t know if i would completely agree with that Freedman said about both sources being outside the mainstream. I agree that both zines and blogs are outlets for voices you don’t hear in things like television or newspapers, but I’m not so sure blogs are outside the mainstream anymore. Although individual blogs aren’t mainstream, I would feel that blogging as a whole is. Blogging is in a weird gray area of being both mainstream and not to me.
