Jeff Lawson has recently purchased the satirical news outlet The Onion. He plans to rejuvenate the brand by employing strategies similar to those used by the founders of WhatsApp. Despite not disclosing the purchase price, Lawson is retaining all editorial staff and has appointed a new CEO, known as @oneunderscore_. In a unique fundraising approach, he is asking readers to donate money in return for 'absolutely nothing,' with a suggested donation of $1.
