Largely focusing on the neighborhood of Bushwick and the surrounding area, The Weekly Chat provides local news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, clubs and organizations, religion, arts, culture, sports, and entertainment. Birth announcements occasionally appear, with births at Williamsburg Maternity Hospital being regularly published. Early issues of the paper occasionally include wedding announcements and obituaries while later issues include them on a regular basis. Graduation announcements from local schools also appear regularly. A regularly appearing "Chat" column provides extensive coverage of the comings and goings of local residents—highlighting such things as vacations, meetings, condolences, and surprise birthday parties. A Brooklyn theater guide is also regularly published covering performances at such theaters as: the Decatur, the Majestic, the Rialto, the Halsey, and Loew's, to name just a few. Later issues of the paper also include a separate section devoted to the neighborhoods of Ridgewood, Glendale, Middle Village, and Maspeth. Advertisements and photographs appear throughout.
