Its coverage is straight local news with a mildly progressive slant typical of a diverse, Democratic-leaning city. Its coverage of the Trump administration centers on local effects, mainly immigration enforcement, and is factual and often sympathetic to affected residents. It is not a national opinion outlet.

Before that, it was a for-profit outlet owned by Pacific Community Media, a company of local investor John Molina's firm Pacific6. David Sommers is the publisher.
