The Onion Sold by G/O Media
G/O Media announced on Thursday that it had sold The Onion, a satirical news site, to a group of digital media veterans.
The Onion, which started in 1988 in Wisconsin as a weekly satirical newspaper and later became a website, is known for its parodies of current events. For the last decade, it has republished the same headline after nearly every mass shooting: “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.”
The website is the latest to be shed by G/O Media, which still publishes a handful of stalwart internet brands like Gizmodo, The Root and Quartz. In recent years, the company sold off Jezebel, Lifehacker, Deadspin and the A.V. Club.
