The Onion Returns to Print — And Gains 50,000+ New Subscribers
In a surprising twist worthy of its own headlines, satirical news outlet The Onion has returned to print — and the gamble paid off. The publication, best known for its absurd and biting humor, revived its physical newspaper format and quickly attracted over 50,000 new subscribers.

The limited-edition print run was initially launched as a one-off stunt, blending irony with nostalgia. But what started as a joke turned into a genuine hit. Fans of The Onion jumped at the chance to own a tangible piece of satire in an increasingly digital world.

The print edition, filled with classic Onion-style headlines and vintage layout design, became something of a collector’s item. Many subscribers said they were drawn in by the novelty, while others simply missed the feel of holding an actual newspaper.

The Onion‘s success suggests that even in a digital age, there’s still appetite for print — especially when it delivers something unique. Whether it’s a sign of media nostalgia or just a really good punchline, the paper comeback proves The Onion still knows how to surprise its audience.
