The Market
Whilst retaining the magazine’s reputation, built up over 33 years of publishing, and the loyalty of its core readership, we aim to increase FT’s subscription base and newsstand presence by increasing its appeal to newcomers and casual readers through a greater emphasis on popular culture (films, DVDs, games and TV), some event issues featuring Fortean Times news awards and major surveys of Weird Britain, as well as increasing reader involvement in the magazine and website.
The Magazine
Fortean Times remains the world’s best-known and most highly respected journal devoted to the reporting, analysis and discussion of strange phenomena. From cryptozoology to conspiracy theory, Fortean Times provides the most balanced coverage of the world of the weird.
