As magazines have led other media with innovations in journalism,
advertising and photography, it is no surprise that they would also lead
the way onto the Internet. Electronic magazines - called e-'zines or simply,
'zines - were some of the first to take advantage of the World Wide Web's
ability to display splashy graphics, animated pictures, sounds, music and
even video clips. While the other media are catching up, see how your
