The newspaper features editorial columns by noted science fiction and fantasy author Orson Scott Card and local investigative reporting by New York Times best-selling author Jerry Bledsoe.
The back page of the paper features a regular commentary article by editor John Hammer, "Under the Hammer". In the feature, Hammer is highly critical of President Barack Obama, referring almost exclusively to him as either "Barack Hussein Obama" or by his last name. Hammer also promotes conspiratorial and fringe theories that Obama is a "secret Muslim" and was not born in the United States.
Syndicated features include comics, such as Get Fuzzy and Pearls Before Swine. Also featured are The New York Times crossword puzzle and a Sudoku puzzle.
