Punk Planet & ZineWiki Partnership! Punk Planet From Punk Planet magazine to ZineWiki.com comes exclusive online content from the archives of Chicago's punk zine laureate. This week, ZineWiki - the open-source encyclopedia of all things independent publishing and small press - made available online the first of many Punk Planet articles, a roundtable discussion interview of top zine librarians entitled "Unofficial Histories: Zine and Ephemeral Print Archivists," by Anne Elizabeth Moore. Punk Planet is a 16,000 print run punk zine, based in Chicago, IL, that focuses most of its energy on looking at punk subculture. In addition to covering music, Punk Planet also covers visual arts and a wide variety of progressive issues -- including media criticism, feminism, and labor issues. The most notable features in Punk Planet are the interviews and the album and zine reviews. The interviews generally run two or three pages, and tend to focus on the motivations of the artist (or organizer, activist, or whoever) being interviewed. Read More...
