The Northwestern Flipside is a weekly satirical publication (similar to The Onion) and official student group at Northwestern University. It was founded in January 2009, and makes approximately 1983.2 people laugh, chuckle, and smile to themselves daily.

The Northwestern Flipside is a member of the Flipside News Network, which includes other satirical publications such as The Stanford Flipside, The Feinberg Flipside, The USC Flipside, The Deerfield Flipside, The Mizzou Flipside, The Flipside International and The NorShore News.

Each week, we release articles, headlines, radio news, magazine news, video segments, and more on this website. Once a quarter, we print an issue and distribute across campus. To view an issue in its entirety or .pdf form, visit the Archives.

All names and quotes are made up unless a public figure is being satirized. Remember, these are all jokes.
