TRUTHER is a magazine about the things people say are being kept from them. We read the theories, check them the slow way, and rank them by how true they turn out to be. Some turn out to be partly true. We find this as inconvenient as you do.

It will be printed on paper, in black ink on cream stock, in a typeface older than most of the theories it examines. It will appear four times a year. The editors have seen a calendar.

The first issue is in preparation. We have been asked not to discuss it, mostly by ourselves. Until it arrives, this page is everything we are prepared to confirm.

Corrections

None to date. The editors have read this page twice and found nothing wrong with it, which they understand is what everyone says.
