Published every Thursday, 17,500 copies are delivered to the greater south side of Indianapolis and its suburbs either to newsstands or through home delivery. Places the paper is delivered to include University of Indianapolis, several Kroger supermarkets, McDonald's restaurants, and several locally owned businesses.[2] The Southside Times sells to many advertisers, allowing the paper to be available at no cost.

Current employees include editor-in-chief Nicole Davis, Director of New Business Development Grady Gaynor, digital consultant Andrew Angle, and sales manager Mark Gasper.

As of November 2012, the paper relocated from its longtime Beech Grove location in favor of a house on the south side of Indianapolis on US 31. The paper also switched to a tabloid format instead of the traditional broadsheet format in January 2013.
