FAQ About The Role of Fanzines in DIY Culture

What is the difference between a fanzine and a magazine?
While both fanzines and magazines are periodicals, fanzines are distinct due to their non-commercial nature, amateur production methods, and focus on niche interests. Magazines are generally professionally produced, commercially driven, and aim to reach a broad audience, whereas fanzines are intimate and often limit their distribution to specific subcultures.
