Ezines are electronic publications distributed by email or posted on a website. Ezines are typically focused on a clear subject matter. Ezines are just like your typical magazine format of monthly or weekly topical publications in an electronic format.

The title EZINE does not come from the phrase Electronic Magazine, produce you might serve thinking that the E in electronic and the Zine in magazine are joined to form this word.

Positively Ezine came from the tete-a-tete FanZine which was a publication with a small subscriber base funnel hence. FanZines were targeted publications that were usually geared towards particular topics like Sci - Fi, Fantasy, and Football clubs.

Those printed publications were called 'FanZines', but were frequently referred to as 'Zines' instead.
