In the newspaper

Everyday, the People's Press consists of the first section, which contains the main news. The second section, or “B Section,” is the Sports, which focuses mainly on local sporting information, but features regional, national and international content. In the Saturday/Sunday "Weekend Edition", a third section, which contains comics, is added to the news. The People's Press does not publish on Sunday and Monday, allowing most employees a day off every Saturday and Sunday. It is a member of the Associated Press News and AP Photo Exchange services.

The publication has been awarded numerous top honors for General Excellence at the annual Minnesota Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper Contest, and its reporters have garnered dozens of individual awards under the guidance of former Managing Editor, Jeffrey Jackson.

Currently Annie Granlund covers the political and “hard news” beat and Bridget Kranz focuses on educational and community events. Granlund has been writing for the People's Press since mid-2018 while Kranz began in late-2019.

The sports section is generally regarded as one if the finest in the state for publication’s of its size and took home back-to-back First Place honors for Overall Sports Reporting at the Better Newspaper Contest in 2018 and 2019. In 2020, the current Sports Editor, Jon Weisbrod, won first and second place in a single category (Sports Feature Story) for a pair of enterprising stories written in late 2018/early-2019. Weisbrod’s work has appeared nationally via the Associated Press and been featured in numerous statewide publications via content exchange agreements. He has a semi-regular column called Beyond the Box, which delves into a wide range of sports topics and often crosses over into popular culture.
