As a nonprofit organization, the magazine is financed through subscriptions and donations.

In 1976, Weinstein, a historian and former editor of Studies on the Left, launched the politically progressive journal In These Times. He sought to model the newsweekly on the early 20th century socialist newspaper the Appeal to Reason. For some time, its tagline was 'The Socialist Newsweekly'. "We intend to speak to corporate capitalism as the great issue of our time, and to socialism as the popular movement that will meet it" he told the Chicago Sun Times on the eve of the first issue's release. While Weinstein himself was involved with both the New American Movement and the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, he wanted the journal to be independent of any one political party or faction. Thus, over the years it has published a wide variety of contributorsfrom anarchists, to union members, to centrists. During the 1980s, the publication became well known for its investigative reporting of the Iran–Contra affair. It has since broken stories on the deliberate destruction of Iraqi water treatment plants by US forces during the first Gulf War (1990–1991), global warming, and on the emergence of mad cow disease. During the 1980s, and up to 1992, it was a biweekly newspaper and a democratic socialist competitor to the National Guardian, which was a biweekly newspaper that was closer to Marxism–Leninism. Senior editor Silja J. A. Talvi won two National Council on Crime and Delinquency PASS Awards (2005, 2006) for her reporting on the impact of three strikes sentencing on African American men, and on the trend toward privatization of the prison system. The magazine was awarded the Utne Reader Independent Press Award for Best Political Coverage in 2006.
