Zines are one of the few opportunities given to each individual to express their own opinions about any subject that they would like to discuss. A source that would be somewhat marked as a zine would be ‘Wikipedia’. Wikipedia is a public site that allows anyone with any knowledge to write, edit and/or discuss a particular subject that they specialize in. Not only is Wikipedia a place for sharing but so are other websites such as, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc. We are all given the permission to write, speak, or listen to whatever we are to choose and nowadays, as Meikle and Young say, ” For many people, the media are no longer just what they watch, listen to or read – the media are now what people do.” It’s a sad time when almost everything about us can be found by a simple Google search engine or even, Facebook. Nothing that we “publish” online can be rightfully ours since it could be on another person’s website….
I understand how you feel about our information being out there but I would like to disagree I think it is a great thing that our info can be found we are all a nation of one and the more that we know the better we can be to one another
