dbo:abstract
  • The Light is a self-published, monthly British conspiracy theory newspaper founded by Darren Nesbitt (frequently under the pseudonym Darren Smith) on 27 September 2020, which claims the COVID-19 pandemic was a hoax. The paper has a sister publication named The Irish Light. The paper has been criticised for spreading COVID-19 misinformation, Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial. It regularly prints articles written by conspiracy theorist Vernon Coleman, and according to a review from Harvard Kennedy School "includes content that is aimed at prompting participation and activism amongst adherents of conspiracy theories, rather than simply presenting information". The company behind the paper was dissolved on 15 February 2021, despite this, it still continues to publish. The paper was free until June 2022, when that month's edition introduced a charge of 50p, though the paper is still available for free digitally. (en)
