The Onion and Playboy are among the publications bucking the trend and bringing back their printed editions rather than remaining all digital. These announcements come as others cease printing altogether. In July, five newspapers in Oregon stopped printing, citing common reasons like lack of advertising revenue, drop in circulation and a focus on digital. But The Onion, the satirical newspaper known for standing out from the crowd, is looking start printing again. It is returning to its roots by bringing back its printed newspaper for the first time in more than a decade — and it’s not a joke. The Onion will send out monthly editions to its online subscribers, taking a page from its early days in the 1980s.
