Some articles touched on Theosophical topics, but most related to current events, sociology, philosophy, and world cultures.

The magazine suffered some financial difficulties, but its demise was probably triggered by the death in 1907 of Theosophical Society President-Founder Henry Steel Olcott. A. P. Sinnett, then Vice President, took over management of the organization until Annie Besant was elected President.
Sinnett wrote of the magazine:
During 1903 I made arrangements for the production of a monthly magazine to be called "Broad Views". The capital, - not adequate to the cost of bold advertising, - was kindly subscribed by friends and I put a great deal of earnest work into the undertaking but it never paid its way. Outgoings were always in excess of receipts and though I kept it going for about three years it perished at the end of that time and the money put into it was lost.[1]
