Largely focusing on the neighborhoods of Downtown Brooklyn, Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, and Brooklyn Heights, Downtown News provides local news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, clubs and organizations, arts, culture, sports, religion, and entertainment. Birth announcements, wedding announcements, and obituaries do not appear in the paper.
