No Joke!: The Onion Ending Last Print Editions
CHICAGO November 8, 2013 (AP)
In poking fun at current events, satirical newspaper The Onion often finds a way to heap ridicule on the newspaper industry.
But just like some news outlets it lampoons, The Onion announced Friday it is ending the last of its print editions and moving to an all-online format.
Print advertising revenue has been drying up during the industry's transition to a digital-dominated media landscape, and newspapers have been gradually scaling back or eliminating print editions entirely.
The Onion's last print editions — in Providence, R.I., Milwaukee and the paper's home city of Chicago — will run on Dec. 12.
