The Onion to resume print publication

The Onion is getting back into the business of print media.

The decades-old satire and comedy publication began distribution of print editions this summer and is offering subscriptions for about $100 per year, the outlet announced this week.

“While America’s Finest Membership offers various additive benefits, The Onion website will remain freely available to every calloused reader who refuses to surrender their credit card information,” the company’s subscription page reads.

The Onion was sold earlier this year by G/O Media to tech company Global Tetrahedron and has a small staff, which today pumps out witty headlines, punny jokes and biting commentary on current events, culture and politics.

Ben Collins, a former disinformation reporter for NBC News who now serves the chief executive of Global Tetrahedron, told The New York Times the outlet will distribute print editions at the Democratic National Convention next week in Chicago, where The Onion is based.

“I think for the same reason that 18-year-old kids are buying Taylor Swift on vinyl,” Jordan LaFlure, The Onion’s executive editor also told the Times, “we can introduce those same kids to the notion that a print publication is a much richer way to consume media.”
