Scope and Contents

Largely focusing on the neighborhood of South Flatbush, The Kings Courier provides local news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, clubs and organizations, arts, culture, religion, sports, and entertainment. The Kings Courier combines the former Kingsway Courier, Midwood Courier, and Avenue U News. Wedding, engagement, and Bar Mitzvah announcements all appear in a column called "Society Hi-Lites." Obituaries do not appear in the paper. Early issues of the paper provide news coverage particular to the Jewish community, while later issues expand the scope of coverage. Advertisements and photographs appear throughout.
