The newspaper is owned and distributed by the Pittsburgh Jewish Publication and Education Foundation.

Bloom wrote the editorials and a weekly column "People and Issues" for over 20 years.

[5] Bloom continued as editor until his retirement in 1983, when he also served as president of the American Jewish Press Association.

[7] Because Pittsburgh has a relatively large population of Jews, especially in Squirrel Hill, the publication has a higher circulation than most other local Jewish newspapers.

Other features include advertisements, letters to the editors, and a calendar of upcoming community events.
