Although it has a small paid staff, many articles and photos are contributed by TNSF members. The editors eschew the use of posed "glamor" photography; rather it publishes photos of naturists of all ages and physical condition simply enjoying nude recreation. Since the Spring of 2005 the magazine has been printed in full color; in 2008 TNS began using recycled paper.

Membership in The Naturist Society Foundation includes a subscription to N magazine.

History
