Over the years, journalists and columnists for the site included: Elizabeth Thompson, BJ Siekierski, Kelsey Johnson, Michael Harris, Kyle Duggan, Don Newman, Lawrence Martin, L. Ian MacDonald, Chris Waddell, Peter Clark, Frank Graves, Paul Adams, Eliza Reid, Kathleen Harris, Laura Stone, James Munson, Janice Dickson, Beatrice Britneff, Catharine Fulton, Charlie Pinkerton, Holly Lake, Amanda Connolly, Paul Koring, Alan Freeman, Chloe Girvan, Kady O'Malley, Kathryn May, Kirsten Smith, Anna Desmarais, James Gragg-Reilly, and Marieke Walsh. Danelia Bolivar founded The Alpheus Group that later became iPoliticsIntel, which she handed off to Marguerite Marlin in 2018. Matthew Usherwood was the staff photographer.
