The Onion Ends Print Editions in San Francisco, Los Angeles
SFGate.com reports that The Onion has shuttered its print editions of the satirical newspaper in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The final print editions for those cities will hit the streets this week.
"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 Officer and President Steve Hannah said in a memo to employees Monday.
SFGate.com says The Onion had a circulation of 60,000 in San Francisco and 50,000 in Los Angeles. They still have other local edition of the Onion - see here. This is a very difficult period for print publishers.
