They focus on both breaking news and under-reported stories. They prioritize stories on natural disasters, foreign conflicts, culture, and technology. While they do release political commentary as well they aim to cover it from an unbiased overall perspective. They do this by making sure to have columnists from both the left and right to ensure their overall stance is unbiased. As of May 2019, Porter Medium maintains a team of over 150 writers from a diverse set of professional backgrounds.
