It was published weekly on Tuesdays.

The newspaper's motto (published on its front page every week) is "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." The motto clearly adds a poignancy to the newspaper's name, and is derived from quotes variously attributed the American clergyman, Peter Marshall,^[1] and to the British journalist, Alex Hamilton (and frequently misattributed to American politician Alexander Hamilton),^[2] but latterly popularised by Ginger Rogers.^[3]
