	With blogs and social-media came a lower necessity for distributing folded paper. The development towards centralized platform monopolies led to frustrations and a search for alternative ways of publishing. Networks of personal websites - often called "small web" - are one of those. Other approaches like HTML-to-print, Web-to-print or Wiki-to-print try to combine web- and paper-based publishing. Their workflow can initially feel intimidating compared to using pens and a copy machine. But they lower the barriers inherent to print, as publications can be accessed both digitally and analogue.

	Selfpublishing is ~~understood by it's proponents as~~ a form of self-empowerment and a strategy to create access to the public on ones own terms. Zines have been an approachable medium for independent creators and activists since the beginnings of desktop publishing. They are relatively cheap and easy to produce ~~in quantities that are too small for mass-distributions, but large enough~~ to spread artistic-visions, activist communications and personal experiences ~~of marginalized groups~~ within ~~their subcultural~~ communities. Yet, how can this accessibility for creators be translated to an outcome that isn't excluding readers based on their abilities?		Selfpublishing is a form of self-empowerment and a strategy to create access to the public on ones own terms. Zines have been an approachable medium for independent creators and activists since the beginnings of desktop publishing. They are relatively cheap and easy to produce. This affordability makes them ideal to spread artistic-visions, activist communications and personal experiences within communities. Yet, how can this accessibility for creators be translated to an outcome that isn't excluding readers based on their abilities?

''small web / small print''
With blogs and social-media came a lower necessity for distributing folded paper. But the development towards centralized platform monopolies driven by commercial interests reignited demand for sovereign alternatives and spurred a revival of networks of personal websites, coined "small web". Approaches like HTML-to-print, Web-to-print or Wiki-to-print try to step further and combine web- and paper-based publishing, creating an open field for artistic exploration. Their workflow can initially feel intimidating compared to using pens and a copy machine. But they might offer an appealing solution to the inherent barriers of printed matter, as they can be accessed both digitally and analogue.
