Salon's magazine covers a variety of topics. American politics is a major focus, but by no means the only one. It has extensive reviews and articles about music, books, and films. It also has articles about "modern life" in all its forms, including relationships and sex. It covers technology, with a particular focus on the free software/open source movement.

Salon covers all of these issues from an unabashedly liberal political viewpoint, although the site has also featured regular columns from such conservatives as David Horowitz and Andrew Sullivan.

Its contributors include political cartoonists such as Tom Tomorrow, author of This Modern World, Ruben Bolling, author of Tom the Dancing Bug, and Keith Knight, author of The K Chronicles.

Its online subscription-only discussion boards, Table Talk and The WELL, are quite popular.
