Largely focusing on the areas of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, and Red Hook, the Brooklyn Paper provides local news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, arts, culture, and entertainment. Birth announcements, wedding announcements, and obituaries do not appear in the paper. However, the deaths of prominent community members are occasionally covered. The paper also features regular articles on brownstones and brownstone owners in the area, as well as a column called "Brownstone Parenting." Extensive coverage is also given to building developments in the area. Consistent coverage is also given to local reaction to U.S. involvement in Nicaragua. Advertisements and photographs appear throughout.
