No Depression is a fully online publication and formerly a bi-monthly magazine (1995-2008) and quarterly journal (2015-2025). In print, No Depression was a publication focused on long-form music reporting and deep analysis that ties contemporary artists with the long chain of American roots music– now published online at nodepression.org. In April 2020, No Depression introduced digital versions of their print journal. While the print journal remains ad-free, the digital versions include roots-music-related advertisements. Its journal contributors include roots music artists as well as professional critics and reporters, photographers, illustrators, and artists.
Its online edition was largely crowd-sourced by contributions from a combination of writers and fans, regular columnists and staff reviewers. In 2019, the online version of the publication moved to align more with its print version variant by no longer accepting community posts.
As of May 2025, No Depression retired its print journal and now publishes its long and short-form roots music journalism through its membership based website nodepression.org.
