webzines

Digital periodical sites

Webzines are magazines published online rather than in print.

The term emerged in the 1990s as the internet made digital publishing accessible, allowing anyone to create periodicals without printing costs.

Webzines range from amateur fan publications to professional outlets: She started a webzine covering indie music.

The term has faded as "online magazine" and "blog" became more common.
