Doubtful News (sometimes Doubtful Newsblog) was a skeptical news aggregator focusing on cryptozoology and the paranormal "because people really believe this stuff." Run by Sharon A. Hill and Torkel Ødegård, the blog was also formerly syndicated on Skeptic.com. It launched on August 25, 2011.

The site was started to fill a gap in the market for a "one-stop source of breaking news of interest to critical thinkers that was not primarily straight science offerings or opinions." It was useful in that it reports on more than just the major stories of the time — with the potential to report on lesser stories before they become big — and kept with a story after it faded from view, allowing followup information to be more easily found.
