I’ve heard bits and pieces on this for a little while but at last it’s official: we’re getting the Onion in D.C. The Post will print and distribute the satirical paper in the area, and we’ll also be handling local ads and coverage. In fact, they’re already looking for a local editor for the D.C. section of the AV Club.

I’ve always liked reading the paper but have only ever done so online, so I’m kind of interested in seeing the print edition for the first time. I don’t know whether I’ll be involved in any of this, but given that Chris Ma, the Post VP in charge of the project is also the publisher of Express and helped bring El Tiempo Latino into the Post fold, it’s entirely possible.
