The A.V. Club
''The A.V. Club'' is an American online newspaper and entertainment website featuring reviews, interviews, and other articles that examine films, music, television, books, games, and other elements of pop-culture media. ''The A.V. Club'' was created in 1993 as a supplement to its satirical parent publication, ''The Onion''. While it was a part of ''The Onion''s 1996 website launch, ''The A.V. Club'' had minimal presence on the website at that point. A 2005 website redesign placed ''The A.V. Club'' in a more prominent position, allowing its online identity to grow. Unlike ''The Onion'', ''The A.V. Club'' and other sites owned by G/O Media are not satirical. The publication's name is a reference to audiovisual (AV) clubs typical of American high schools. History In 1993, five years after the founding of ''The Onion'', Stephen Thompson, a student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, launched an entertainment section of the newspaper. In 1996, both ''The Onion'' and ''The A.V ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Heavily influenced in modern times by mass media, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of people in a given society.
