The Onion Is Killing Their West Coast Print Editions "Unfortunately, despite healthy readership in both Los Angeles and San Francisco (readership has actually risen despite our reduction in copies in recent months) the advertising in both cities has been abysmal," CEO Steve Hannah said in a memo.

Nope. No joke. Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and Denver-Boulder. They also sold the print edition to subscribers for a number of years.
Maybe they could keep it going on a subscriber basis? I managed to convince an elderly friend of the family without a TV that it was a real news magazine, that's probably why he got shipped off to that home. Good times.
Aw, getting the print edition is one of the best things about living in a fancy city.
OH NO, THE INTERNET IS KILLING SATIRE!
(see? not really)
Dammit! Yeah, I didn't know this existed until I moved to San Francisco. I thought it was just a website.
So sad, since the print Onion has to be more profitable than the San Francisco Chronicle. Even if it makes $0, or loses a million dollars a year, it's still better than how much the Chronicle loses.
Noooooooo! The print edition of The Onion was one of my favorite things. So sad.
Good jab at the newspaper bankrupticies. Could probably be their cover story. Since they already have a book, the onion should print a newspaper just for the punchline.
The Onion had a print edition? Is that a joke?
