It is a member of the Association of Alternative Newsmedia and has won multiple AAN Awards. The paper has an unverified circulation of 60,000 plus print copies monthly and has grown to over 200,000 in readership each issue as of June 2023 .[3]

It was acquired by Boldland Press, Inc. in 2020. Attorney John Michael Phillips has been linked to the ownership group.[4]
