The Death of Print (Again)

The satirical news site generates more traffic than some traditional publications.

The Onion's top news, circa 2013: "Print Dead at 1,803." On Tuesday, it helped put the nail in the coffin.

The satirical news site just agreed to sell a chunk of itself  (as well as sister properties including ClickHole and The A.V. Club) to Spanish broadcaster Univision Communications. The reported price tag of about $200 million for a 40 percent stake in the Onion's parent company values the whole enterprise in the range of $500 million.
