Factsheet Five is supposedly intended to serve as a useful function by publicizing the work of others.
From the start we see the sterility of the project: whereas newspapers in the modern age are little more than advertising circulars with a few random and trivial facts thrown in to hold the reader’s interest and induce him to turn the pages, here we have the circular itself, pure, standing alone.

Mike Gunderloy, who founded the Factsheet Five catalog in the mid-1980s, says zines are "so diverse as to be pretty much unclassifiable." The mainstream press, when writing about the zine scene, usually showcases the quirky ones--The Daily Cow, Pills-A-Go-Go, and The Tawdry Times, for example.
