Weekly World News Shutting Down

Luckily, the people who got their news from the Weekly World News can still turn to Fox…

While it isn’t strictly a genre publication, and it does bill itself as “The World’s Only Reliable Newspaper,” the editor has decided that this announcement does fall within SFScope’s purview:

American Media has decided to suspend publication of Weekly World News, both the print publication and the web site. No reason was given at press time, although reliable sources do tell us that management turned down at least one offer to buy the publication.

  2. Debbe,

    It’s obviously an alien conspiracy; after all, they ADMITTED in “Men in Black” that WWN and its ilk are THE primary source of information on alien activities on Planet Earth!
