I love the onion! I read the paper copy everyday. I think they have an office somewhere here in Chicago.

Everyday? It's a weekly paper.

Ok, well, most days. I don't keep track of how often it comes out, but I grab a new one everytime I see it. I check to see if a new one is out everyday. How's that?

I think they come out every Thursday... (that's how it is in DC, anyway)? The publishing dates are on the front.

The Onion is from Madison Wisconsin originally.

Yes, and then the original Wisconsinites left for NYC after the success of "This Dumb Century." I've often considered trying to get a job at the SF office since I have "connections" but I haven't noticed them hiring for any jobs that I'm qualified for lately. Back when I was attending Madison, it was my dream to one day write for them. I'd settle for being their receptionist now, though.

Every city has a different number of staff for The Onion. In DC, there are only technically 3 of us, me, the local DC editor, and Ben. And Ben and I aren't on The Onion' payroll, we're actually on The Washington Post's. I'm actually a designer for The Washington Post Express, not the Onion, but I fill in for Ben whenever he's not around. It's insane to me that the entire DC Onion edition is created by, literally, 2 people and a few interns each week.

I wonder how big the staff is in other cities. Do they even have receptionists?

wait.... the post company owns the onion?!

marcia [email] said at 11:57 PM 06-11-2008:
No, they have a "deal" with them. The Post has its fingers in anything that could be a potential rival in town.
