Besides providing advertising distribution, it also provides aggregation of public notices and other information from its member newspapers,[5] including state and city calls for bids, changes in municipal code, foreclosures, estate claims, forfeited property, probate, summons, and similar information.[6]

It also may sponsor and organize political debates, such as the 2014 governor candidates' debate.[7]
