Largely focusing on the areas of Bay Ridge and Flatbush, the Brooklyn Record provides local news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, clubs and organizations, arts, culture, sports, religion, and entertainment. Birth announcements and wedding announcements do not appear in the paper. However, engagement announcements and anniversary announcements occasionally appear in a section devoted to "Personal" announcements. A dedicated obituary section does appear in early issues of the paper but is absent in later issues. A section entitled "Jewish War Veteran Notes" regularly appears in the paper as does a more general "VFW Section." Consistent coverage is also given to events at area community colleges. Local clubs and organizations—such as the Elks and the Young Republican Club of Bay Ridge—are also covered. Advertisements and photographs appear throughout.
