This is True: Subscription Set, and Info

This is True is a Weekly Feature that retells recent bizarre-but-true news stories from “legitimate” news sites from around the world. Each story is punctuated by a tagline — humorous, ironic, and/or opinionated comments. It started online in 1994, making it the oldest continuously running entertainment feature online.

Each issue has 10 or more short stories plus a “headline of the week,” and some authors note’s notes under the stories (such as reader mail) and other items. Most issues link to my latest Honorary Unsubscribe of someone interesting. This free distribution delivers 4-5 of those stories, and is sent each weekend. You can of course get all the stories: the Premium edition is available starting at just $10, and comes with several bonuses.

While waiting for the next issue to arrive, you can read the most-recent issue, and the one before that.

While I Think Facebook is Fairly “Evil,” True has a popular page there. I’m also on Twitter.

Terms of Service: This is True’s free edition is offered without charge for your personal, non-commercial use. In return for your free subscription, you agree to abide by the terms of the copyright notice included in each issue, and you agree that you are responsible for maintaining your own subscription, including changing your own address or stopping your subscription when you choose: there is an address change/Unsubscribe link in every issue — just like below.

Welcome to my distribution, and I hope you enjoy This is True.
