As of 2020 Gonzo Today lists noted poet and author Ron Whitehead [9] as its poetry editor. Whitehead, a Hunter Thompson friend and associate, has worked for many years to honor Thompson's legacy, including an annual spring "Gonzofest" held in Louisville, Kentucky.[10] Gonzo Today has been acknowledged as a noted contributor to Gonzofest.[11]

Founded by Clayton Luce, his wife and co-founder Jaslyn, then-Editor-in-chief David Pratt and Art Director Joey Feldman played major roles in the formative years, along with a substantial group of writing contributors and artists.[12] Luce and Whitehead's travels to interview Thompson's son and author Juan Thompson have been documented in the Louisville paper LEO Weekly.[13]
