A mailing list for news articles of interest to skeptics, including those related to the paranormal, quackery, urban legends, hoaxes, cryptozoology and other topics.
While articles that have a skeptic bent are included in the Skeptic NewsSearch, the mailing list is really designed to include mainstream coverage of items of interest of skeptics, regardless of their viewpoint. I started this mailing list hoping it would be a useful tool for skeptics to keep track what the mass media is reporting on both nonsense and skepticism. After all, responding to extraordinary claims or outright hoohah, either through articles of response or letters to the editor, is difficult when we never see the claims in the first place.
