Studio Brief 2: The Onion Research

The Onion is a parody news organisation that was founded in 1988. it is a website and printed newspaper. The onion reports on real stories sometimes, but changes them a lot to make them funny, or simply make up a lot of ridiculous stories which have been mistaken for real stories on multiple occasions.

The look and almost everything about the onion website and its tabloid seem like an actual news website, apart from the ridiculous content.



The onion website has a very similar look to that of the BBC news website below which I have spoken about here. If we were to create a blog that is similar to the onion we would probably go for a similar, professional look.
