The Onion is an American news satire organization. It is an entertainment newspaper and a website featuring satirical articles reporting on international, national, and local news, in addition to a non-satirical entertainment section known as The A.V. Club. It says 90 percent of its web site readers are between 18 and 44 years old.Since 2007, the organization publishes satirical news audio and video online, as the "Onion News Network".[5] Web traffic on theonion.com amounts to an average of 7.5 million unique visitors per month.

The Onion's articles comment on current events, both real and fictional. It parodies traditional newspapers with stories, editorials, op-ed pieces, and man-in-the-street interviews, using a traditional newspaper layout and an editorial voice modeled after that of the Associated Press. Its humor often depends on presenting mundane, everyday events as newsworthy ("Area Man’s Opinion Hasn’t Been Taken Seriously By Anyone In Over A Decade"). Surreal exaggerations and puns are also common, in headlines such as "Obama Assures Americans This Will Not Be Another 1456 Ottoman Siege Of Belgrade".

A second part of the newspaper is a non-satirical entertainment section called The A.V. Club that features interviews and reviews of various newly released media, as well as other weekly features. The print edition also contains restaurant reviews and previews of upcoming live entertainment specific to cities where a print edition is published. The online incarnation of The A.V. Club has its own domain, includes its own regular features, A.V. Club blogs and reader forums, and presents itself as a separate entity from The Onion itself.
