Satirical Journalism

Satirical journalism fuses reporting and ridicule into a critique cocktail. It dresses facts in clown suits and sends them to interrogate power. Writers gather eyewitness parody, playful polls, and fake-but-plausible quotes. Each article aims for the 'aha!' laugh that triggers self-reflection. A meta-survey showed readers trust satire 33 % more than traditional headlines'but only if they realize it's satire. Labeling is key; otherwise, you risk accidentally informing people.
