The site, in 2003
An American satirical news organisation that writes fake news stories in the voice of a traditional newspaper.
It started as a weekly print paper in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1988 and went online in early 1996. It stopped printing in 2013 and revived the print edition in 2024 under new owner Jeff Lawson.
In 2003: The paper had moved from Madison to New York two years earlier, in 2001.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
