Lorene Yue of Crain’s Chicago Business writes Wednesday that the weekly business newspaper fell for an April Fool’s joke from a local magazine that put out its latest issue and a release stating that Donald Trump had bought a majority stake in the publication.
“‘We thought the press release was part of the parody,’ Mr. Barnett said. ‘The concept of a parody is to make it look as real as possible.’
