Largely focusing on the neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, and Cobble Hill, The Township provides local news coverage of business, politics, and community events. Birth announcements, wedding announcements, and obituaries do not appear in the paper. The paper, published by the Brooklyn Heights Citizens for Local Democracy, is primarily concerned with city planning issues, political activism, citizen's rights issues, and community politics. Advertisements, photographs, comics, and illustrations appear throughout.
