Largely focusing on the neighborhood of Greenpoint, the Greenpoint Gazette [and Advertiser] provides local news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, clubs and organizations, arts, culture, sports, religion, and entertainment. Birth announcements do not appear, however wedding and engagement announcements occasionally appear. A section devoted to obituaries appears regularly. Regular coverage in the paper is given to the Friends of McGolrick Park organization as well as the Civilian Observation Patrol. A column called "Firenews," reporting on area fires and written by a fireman, also appears regularly. The Mt. Carmel and Our Lady of the Snow feasts are also given regular coverage. Advertisements and photographs appear throughout. The title of the publication starts and ends as Greenpoint Gazette and Advertiser, but for a period in the middle of its run, from January 1981 until December 1986, it is just Greenpoint Gazette.
