A COLLABORATIVELY PRODUCED DO-IT-YOURSELF NEWSarticle

Abstract

In this article we explore the possibilities of producing, sharing and consuming self-produced media in cafés. We developed a concept for a newsarticle which is produced with very simple and intuitive tools such as pen, article and scissors. The Newsarticle is entirely produced and printed in a café by its visitors. We connect the concept to the punk fanzine movement of the late 70s and 80s when the upcoming photocopier and the simplicity of the tools lead to a large amount of DIY (do it yourself) fan magazines so called
"fanzines".
