How Celtic Fans are controlling the Media

news
26 June 2020

 

From the early Celtic Fanzines to Instagram, Celtic Fans are controlling how they consume media. No longer can the tabloids get away with false headlines to sell newspapers and we have Celtic fanzines like Not the View to thank for being one of the originators who kicked off the independent Celtic fan media revolution and they continue to produce the fanzine decades later.  So with them in mind it was great to kick off our own Podcast with Not the View’s Average Joe Miller a few weeks ago.

The Celtic Soul Podcast was the final piece of the jigsaw for the Celtic Fanzine Independent media platform. I never thought in 2001 when I started More than 90 Minutes Celtic Fanzine that 19 years on I would be still involved in producing Independent Celtic Fan content across every platform both new and old available.

So much has changed in how we consume media, back then it took forever and a day to download content from the worldwide web when you had to dial in before Wi-Fi. Fanzines were once the only form of independent media and were followed by websites, bloggers, forums and then social media that changed the game completely.

YouTube, Podcasts, Fan TV have all added to quality content getting produced, I know there are a few websites who prefer to push out great headlines instead of decent content but these are a minority there is plenty of quality out there to read, watch and listen to and fair play and well done to everybody contributing to the independent Celtic fan media scene.
