Z Magazine is an extensive resource for people concerned about justice, peace, compassion, the environment and humanity. Many writers who are unable to get their ideas heard in the highly concentrated, corporately owned media, use Z Magazine to bypass this medium and get their ideas some exposure. The magazine has much original, provocative and significant information that is missing from the mainstream media.

Z Magazine is available in print and online. The print magazine is most often sixty-four pages, with articles of many lengths and focuses. The online magazine, updated monthly, reproduces the print as closely as possible and has two versions—one public (an archive), and the other for subscribers only. The latter appears simultaneously with the print version. The former appears a few months later.
