Quote: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 horoscopes.
*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, photos of the same people are almost always used, with one of them often described as a systems analyst.
*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.
*A Person of the Year award, in 2014 honoring Malala Yousafzai and John Cena
*"'No Way To Prevent This', Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens", a story republished with minor edits after major mass shootings in the United States. The story was first published in regards to the 2014 Isla Vista killings.
