NPR's Scott Detrow speaks with Christine Wenc, author of the new book Funny Because It's True: How the Onion Created Modern News Satire.
"Funny Because It's True: The Onion's History" is a book that chronicles the journey of the satirical newspaper The Onion, from its inception in 1988 to its current status as a major player in American humor. Authored by The Onion's former editor-in-chief, the book delves into the newspaper's evolution, highlighting key moments such as its transition from print to digital, its impact on political satire, and the challenges it faced along the way. The narrative also explores the creative process behind some of The Onion's most iconic headlines and the cultural significance of its brand of humor, which often blurs the line between absurdity and reality. Through interviews with past and present staff members, the book provides an insider's look at how The Onion has managed to stay relevant and influential in the ever-changing landscape of media and comedy.
