Onion collects

for injured editor

The Onion, a popular humor paper and Website with two TV shows as part of its brand, has established a fund soliciting donations from the public to help local Onion arts and entertainment editor Emily Guendelsberger with her medical bills.

The Onion does not provide health insurance to Guendelsberger, 27, who suffered a broken leg and bruising during an attack Saturday night near Broad and Spring Garden by a mob of wilding urban youth hellbent on violence and vandalism.

We asked an Onion spokeswoman what, if anything, the company would contribute to her bills.

"We can't divulge any details surrounding the compensation or benefits packages of our employees," said Onion spokeswoman Anne Finn. "We will say that when we heard about the events that transpired, we were shocked and saddened. Our hearts immediately went out to Emily and we wanted to leave the option for people to help her," Finn continued.

Nonetheless, while Guendelsberger, a former Daily News copy editor, remains hospitalized, donations are pouring into "The A.V. Club's Emily Guendelsberger Fund" set up to accept PayPal funds to MGilmer@avclub.com.

The local edition of the Onion, which is full of fake news but real entertainment coverage, which Guendelsberger oversees, is published in partnership with Philadelphia Media Network, owner of the Daily News, Inquirer and Philly.com. PMN spoksman Mark Block would not say if the company would contribute, but said the company "Is supportive of our employees contributing," to the Onion's PayPal account.
