We report. You reconsider.

The National Misprint is an independent source of breaking news, provided the news does not need to have broken, occurred, or survived basic scrutiny.

Our newsroom covers politics, business, science, culture, sports, local affairs, and the increasingly difficult process of scheduling a meeting. Every article is original satire. Stories, quotations, people, and events may be invented, exaggerated, or asked to circle back next quarter.

Our editorial method

We begin with an ordinary human frustration, apply unwarranted institutional confidence, and continue until the headline sounds alarmingly plausible. Our writers do not claim to predict the future, though we reserve the right to act impressed when it resembles one of our stories.

Our promise

We clearly label the publication as satire and never intend our reporting to be treated as factual news. We do, however, intend it to be forwarded to a friend with the message, “This feels real.”
