ScribbleSheet is an online magazine based in the United Kingdom with the tagline "Comfortably Contrarian". It was launched on September 25, 2007.

It is one of the first of its kind in the world to publish articles from its readers with little to no editing, in an open source style of opinion writing. Presently 100% of the site's content is written by its readers with no dedicated staff writers.[1] [2] The majority of articles are written by freelance contributors, journalism students and ordinary citizens.[3] The site recently launched a debates section in which recently posted articles are debated by members of the community. The site also has an interview section where the founders talk to journalists and members of the blogosphere.

The contributions on ScribbleSheet focus on News, Politics, Society, Business and Technology. ScribbleSheet can be seen as an evolution from Oh My News and Newsvine however, the citizen journalism newspaper model has come under some previous skepticism.[4]

ScribbleSheet is currently published in English only.
