Isthmus Publishing Company was founded on April 9, 1976, by Vincent P. O'Hern and Fred Milverstedt. On July 10, 2014, Craig Bartlett, Jeff Haupt and Mark Tauscher, partners in Madison-based Red Card Media, purchased the publishing company. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Isthmus paused publishing and converted to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with help from Bartlett and Haupt donating the company's intellectual property. Operating now as Isthmus Community Media, Inc., the paper returned to print as a monthly in August 2021 under the leadership of editor and president Judith Davidoff, associate editor Linda Falkenstein, senior staff writer Dylan Brogan, calendar editor Bob Koch and publisher Jason Joyce.

Isthmus distributes 35,000 high-quality copies throughout the greater Madison area and is a member of the Institute for Nonprofit News and Association of Alternative Newsmedia.
