Paranoia (magazine)

Since 1992, "Paranoia: The Conspiracy & Paranormal Reader" has presented alternative views and marginalized theories of the inner workings of the cryptocracy. Subjects include conspiracy theories, parapolitics, alternative history, and the paranormal.

"Paranoia" was founded during the do-it-yourself zine explosion of the early 1990s. The first issue had a black-and-white tabloid-style layout, with feature stories starting on the cover and continuing inside.

Currently, "Paranoia" is a 72-page print magazine published three times a year. It is sold in bookstores and newsstands in the U.S. and Canada, as well as by subscription. The current print run is nearly 15,000.

"Paranoia" received a 2001 Award of Merit in the Writer's Digest Zine Publishing Awards, and has been rated by Playboy magazine as a "Top 10 Zine." Pagan Kennedy of The Village Voice called it "Weirdness on a grand scale ..." containing "a dizzying web of connections." Alternative book publisher "New Paradigm Books" recently stated that "Paranoia" is "an original and provocative thrice-yearly magazine, with an occasional compelling focus on women writers."
