The organization emphasizes reporting integrity and aims to furnish information that allows readers to form their own opinions, free from government, corporate, or political influence. Operating within the newspaper publishing field, The Epoch Times concentrates on documenting human rights issues in China and monitoring efforts that affect Western freedoms and values. It is based in New York City and is described as a mid-sized organization. A recent development includes the February 2023 launch of Battlefields, a project featuring articles and podcasts by veterans and first responders.
