The Skeptic

The Skeptic magazine, established in 1987 and now operating successfully on Patreon since August 2020, offers a unique and vital perspective on the landscape of pseudoscience and paranormal claims. Edited by Michael Marshall and a team from the Merseyside Skeptics Society, this UK-based publication provides rigorous, evidence-based analysis of questionable assertions, promoting critical thinking and reasoned debate. With a dedicated community of 100 members, including 55 paying patrons, The Skeptic continues to build a following through its in-depth investigations and commitment to exposing misinformation. Generating an estimated £184 in monthly Patreon earnings, the magazine's longevity and consistent output demonstrate its dedication to its mission of informed skepticism. As the only regularly published UK magazine focused on this niche, The Skeptic maintains an important role in challenging unsubstantiated claims and fostering a culture of scientific literacy.
