ZNetwork, formerly known as Z Communications, is a left-wing activist-oriented media group founded in 1986 by Michael Albert and Lydia Sargent.

[2] It is, in broad terms, ideologically libertarian socialist, anti-capitalist, and heavily influenced by participatory economics, although much of its content is focused on critical commentary of foreign affairs.

Zeta Magazine was founded by Michael Albert and Lydia Sargent in 1987, both of whom had previously co-founded South End Press.

[8] Rene Milan of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies called the site a rich source of information about participism.

Contributors to the magazine have included Patrick Bond[15] Noam Chomsky,[16], Ward Churchill,[17] Alexander Cockburn, Edward S. Herman,[18] bell hooks,[19] Mike Kuhlenbeck,[20] Staughton Lynd, John Ross, Juliet Schor, Holly Sklar, Cornel West, Kevin Zeese and Howard Zinn.
