I recently read The Stranger Times by Caimh McDonnell, an urban fantasy about a tabloid reporting on supernatural events that's very tongue in cheek and although the humour doesn't always hit, it did remind me of Rivers of London by ways of Terry Pratchett. The characters are certainly very Pratchett-ian. The story starts of with the Stranger Times looking for a "new Tina" a.k.a. assistent editor because the editor is insufferably rude and terrible to people. The job description reads: "Publication seeks desperate human being with capability to form sentences, using the English language. No imbeciles, optimists or Simons need apply."
