What has it been like shifting from reporter to media executive, managing a staff instead of filing stories yourself? And do you write any of the jokes at The Onion? Or are you strictly managing the business?

The Onion’s process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday.

The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times.

That’s why I don’t touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work they’re already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and that’s working.

You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step.

If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope it’s that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don’t actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you. This is a valid way to run a company.

Also talked about The Onion being inefficient on purpose.

A matte black fountain pen laying parallel to its cap at a 45 degree angle on top of dot matrix paper. On the paper, written in red ink, reads:

I love new pen day!!!
Pen: Monteverde Ritma (medium)
Ink: β€œHuman Issues” from Wearingeul
Paper: Mnemosyne 105 (A5, dot matrix)

To be clear I’m on your side about what should happen, but somewhat to the point of your video about it I can’t help but wonder what data they’re referencing in the announcement.

If I squint hard enough the reasoning from the article is sound but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
