Globalization has caught up with Zine. We are now WYBZINTERNATIONAL. Not only have we covered international happenings this summer, but the new Zine team is 100% international—Farah Al-Qasimi, our Creative Director, is from the UAE, I am from Kenya, Chloé Rossetti is from Australia and our new Graphic Designer, Andrew Lister, is from the UK. How about that for diversity? We even have a map of the world at the back with dots showing where each of us are from. (jk…but you wish we did.) I am tempted to ramble on about the new Zine team and the overflowing nature of our awesomeness, but that is not on the agenda… Media has changed faces in many ways and the means of delivering and receiving media has also changed. With everything going digital, there is a temptation to hop on the proverbial bandwagon. Do fewer people read print media because they have laptops, iPads, Kindles, iPhones, Droids, T.Vs, radio, Droid Xs (not to be confused with Droid incredible or other android phones out there), iPhone 4s (not to be confused with iPhone), Blackberries and other fancy gadgets that want to save the trees? We here at WYBZINE are also keen on regularly servicing you with coverage of events, both on-campus and beyond, but in a different way. It’s coverage with a twist: not by us, but by you. If I am to employ an analogy, I’d compare our readers to Beyonce, when Destiny’s Child was still relevant. We all knew that Kelly, Michelle and that other girl that quit were important, but sans B, we would be no ill-fated progeny at all. As a result, we are indebted to our consumer who doubles as our supplier. This summer, WYBC DJs were scattered across the globe. They did some great things, and came back with great pictures, which the Zine team saw on Facebook…and consequently requested that these wonderful experiences be written about for our publication. On a more local level, reading some of these articles made me realize how little I know of the events happening off-campus and in the greater CT, NY and New England areas, that I may have the time in my life to go to but do not always find out about. Once I realized this, I asked our Events Treasurer, Carl Chen, for directions to the one-stop source of local event info and he directed me to: www.facebook.com/yaleradio, where you can keep up with all that is happening within and with-out the station! Enjoy Zine #3 and see you on the Zine #4! (Get it? Scene…Zine? No?) Brian Waswani Odhiambo Yale ‘12 Editor-in-Chief
