Rebooting The Onion

The latest Decoder podcast episode is a great listen for anyone navigating modern print newspaper publishing.

No joke.

This comes alongside the behind-the-scenes news that they relaunched The Onion website on WordPress VIP, great news for my former colleagues at Automattic, and for WordPress in general.
