An e-zine is an electronic magazine or newsletter distributed online through email or websites. E-zines may cover topics related to academic subjects, trades, industries or special interests. Some large publishers provide digital versions of print magazines for a fee, while other e-zines are available freely with advertising or through paid subscriptions. E-zines are typically cheaper and faster to produce than print magazines.

Some online publishers have begun publishing in multiple digital formats,
or dual digital formats, that may include both HTML version that look like
traditional web pages and Flash versions that appear more like traditional
magazines with digital flipping of pages.
Online magazines representing matters of interest to specialists in or
societies for academic subjects, science, trade or industry are typically
referred to as online journals.

Many ezines provide free access to all aspects of their online
content although some publishers have opted to require a
subscription fee to access premium online articles.
Online magazines may generate money based on targeted
search ads to web-site visitors and banner ads.
The original online magazines, e-zines and disk magazines are
much cheaper to produce than the older print versions.
They can also reach audiences much more quickly.
