Summary

The Weekly World News has begun a new era of investigative reporting as they continue to cover stories the mainstream media ignores. Stories about the latest sightings of alien abductions, Bigfoot sightings, conspiracy theories, biblical prophecies, alien invasions, the supernatural, the paranormal, and the cryptid phenomena infiltrating all corners of American life. In 2019, Weekly World News Senior Editor (and its most prolific writer), Greg D’Alessandro, took the reins as the imprint’s CEO/Editor In Chief along with his partner, David Collins, serving as President. Together they are bringing WWN’s cast of characters to a new generation, taking WWN beyond print, beyond its presence online and on social media.

The influential black and white tabloid, with its famously bizarre headlines, ceased its incredibly successful 27-year print run in 2007. But Weekly World News has continued disrupting the media landscape for the last 14 years. The stamp of Weekly World News’ hard-hitting investigative journalism continues to have a lasting impact on the American pop culture psyche and has impacted readers around the globe.
