There comes a time, it seems, when even parodies must face reality. And for The Onion, that time will come in December, when the satirical news source will stop publishing print editions and shift to being all-digital.
That’s the news from Milwaukee Public Radio, which calls today “a sad day for the sarcastic among us.”
In addition to Milwaukee, The Onion “will also stop publishing print editions for its other remaining markets, Chicago and Providence, R.I.,” WUWM’s Stephanie Lecci writes. She adds, “The Onion once printed in 17 markets, according to the Business Journal of Milwaukee.”
The final print issues of The Onion will be distributed on Dec. 12, marking the end of an era for the fake news organization that in 1988 began life as a newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin.
