A
disk magazine, colloquially known as a
diskmag or
diskzine, is a
magazine that is distributed in
electronic form to be read using
computers. These had some popularity in the 1980s and 1990s as periodicals distributed on
floppy disk, hence their name. The rise of the
Internet in the late 1990s caused them to be superseded almost entirely by online publications, which are sometimes still called "diskmags" despite the lack of physical disks.
