 The paper's bread and butter consisted of articles relating to working class Vermonters, small farmers, as well as providing analysis of local Native American struggles and other major social/political events unfolding in Vermont.Although not a primary focus, the paper also covered regional news (possessing a Quebec Affairs Desk), national news, and international news, through original content.In order to broaden the paper's appeal, "Catamount Tavern News" also reported on the Vermont Golden Gloves competition, had regular columns on hunting (written by Jonah Black Jack Banis), wild plant gathering, handy hints (for rural living), a crossword puzzle, occasional art & poetry, Vermont history and an obituary page.
