The Onion, the satirical news publication, is ceasing publication of its print editions in San Francisco and Los Angeles after this week, blaming declining ad sales.
“It is an unpleasant task to discontinue print in those two cities — and to lay off the good people who worked hard to make them profitable — but I believe it is the wise business decision to make,” chief executive Steve Hannah said in a memo to workers.
The other eight local Onions will continue printing. The Onion also is offered online.
