It has a circulation of 50,000 and features newsflashes and in-depth stories from all around the globe. It is a major money-spinner in the Ottawa chain of newspapers. The incumbent editor is Cliff Schechtman. The only other two newspapers of note in Cape Cod are the weeklies: The Cape Codder and The Barnstable Patriot. One of The Cape Cod Times' distinguishing causes is its relentless campaign against the Cape Wind project. This project hopes to establish electricity generation via windmills at Nantucket sound. The Cape Cod Times maintains that this will hopelessly industrialize the Nantucket Sound. In this, it shares a common platform with the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound. The Cape Cod Times is a full-fledged newspaper that caters to its readers from all accepted angles. Apart from a regularly updated news section, editorials and various forums, it features a business section, a daily entertainment update, district court reports, a sports section, weather forecasts and analyses, obituaries, daily lottery results, and a social engagement calendar. Cape Cod residents find The Cape Cod Times a lifeline. It provides local, national, and international news to a population that would otherwise be quite cut off from the mainstream life of the mainland. The paper, as well as online version, offer economically important features like real estate updates and an extensive classifieds section, with an online retail sale outlet.
