The paper prints Associated Press, "New York Times", "The Washington Post", and "Los Angeles Times" international and national news, but has strong Central Texas coverage, especially in political reporting. The "Statesman" benefits from the culture and writing heritage of Austin. It extensively covers the music scene, especially the annual South by Southwest Music Festival. The newspaper co-sponsors Austin events such as the Capital 10K, one of the largest 10K runs in the U.S., and the Season for Caring charity campaign. In the Austin market, the "Statesman" competes with the "Austin Chronicle", an alternative weekly.
