My experience with Zines is about as successful as the demonstrated search in class last tuesday. I still cannot find a site where I can view zines that are well-polished and not about politics. The first article we read had me laughing, "The best answer: Yes and no. Some fanzines are sloppy rants produced by psychopaths. (One of these guys sent me a 10-page death threat in 1992; he was unhappy with a review of his "work.")" -This was personally funny, because I have had an experience much similar to this, but perhaps less severe. I had an angry atheist- rant on my blog- granted I did call his blog content pathetic, I believe that is considered "sniping".. whoops.
I know the content of my zine article -and I think I will write for the Washington Post, or this Art Zine
- My article has to do with this documentary that I watched called "My Kid Could Paint That." - So I am considering my audience to either be art-inclined or just skeptically interested in a possible scandal. I know that the press has covered this story and it is nothing "new" but I found it interesting and plan to (Of course) put my own spin on it. I think that my article will need high quality images- as well as video- As for links- the zines I have been able to find- aren't that hyperlink rich.
