Editing The Onion (section)

==Regular features==
{{More citations needed section|date=December 2022}}
Regular features of ''The Onion'' include:
* "Statshot", an illustrated statistical snapshot which parodies "''[[USA Today]]'' Snapshots".
* "Infographics", with a bulleted lists of jokes on a theme.
* Opinion columns, including mock editorials, point-counterpoints, and pieces from regular columnists.
* Bizarre [[horoscope]]s.
* Slideshows that parody content aggregation sites like ''Huffington Post'' and Buzzfeed, usually accompanied by a "[[click-bait]]"-style headline.
* "News in Photos" that feature a photograph and caption with no accompanying story.
* "American Voices" (formerly called "What Do You Think?"), a mock [[vox populi]] survey on a topical current event. There are three respondents—down from the original six—for each topic, who appear to represent a diverse selection of demographics. Although their names and professions change each time they are used, the same six pictures have been reused weekly for over 20 years. The photos belong to people that happened to be near the publication's old office in Madison: one is a Madison community theater actor, one used to work with The Onion's CEO Chad Nackers at a restaurant, one delivered goods for UPS, and one is Mark Danielson's aunt.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Ganz |first1=Megan |last2=Garden |first2=Joe |date=2008-11-17 |title=Washington Post Magazine: Onion Nation |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2008/11/12/DI2008111202030.html |access-date=2024-09-05 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |language=en-US |issn=0190-8286}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/mrbula/7540416788 | title=Random fact: My aunt is one of the "American Voices" people in the Onion.

* An [[editorial cartoon]] drawn by "Kelly", a fictional cartoonist. The cartoons are actually the work of artist [[Ward Sutton]] and they are a deadpan parody of conservative editorial cartoons, as well as editorial cartoons in general. Many of the cartoons feature the [[Statue of Liberty]], usually shedding a single tear—of joy or anguish—depending on the situation.<ref name="wikinews_20071124"/><ref name="latimes_20150329">{{cite news|title=Hackwork hacked|url=https://www.latimes.com/opinion/la-oew-cavanaugh29mar29-story.html|work=Los Angeles Times|date=March 29, 2007|access-date=June 20, 2015|issn=0458-3035|first=Tim|last=Cavanaugh|archive-date=June 21, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150621034820/http://www.latimes.com/opinion/la-oew-cavanaugh29mar29-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
