Kendall|year=2003|title=Making the News: Anarchist Counter-Public Relations on the World Wide Web|journal=Critical Studies in Media Communication|volume=20|issue=4|pages=335–361|doi=10.1080/0739318032000142007|citeseerx=10.1.1.530.1176}} According to its website, "[t]he Infoshop project is run by a collective of anarchists, anti-authoritarians, socialists and people of other political stripes. We don't adhere to a specific flavor of anarchism or libertarianism, but we've often been called 'big tent anarchists.' We take that to mean that we provide a wide range of anarchist news, opinion and information with the idea that our readers and users have the freedom to make use of that info as they see fit."{{cite web|url=http://www.infoshop.org/about-us/|title=About Us|publisher=Infoshop|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200304071058/http://www.infoshop.org/about-us/|archive-date=4 March 2020|url-status=dead|access-date=4 October 2020}}

A prominent feature of the site is Infoshop News, an open publishing newswire similar to that of Indymedia.
