Largely focusing on the neighborhood of East New York, the East New Yorker 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. A column called "Woman/Man of the Month," profiling East New Yorkers regularly appears, as does a column entitled "Spotlight on East New York" which highlights the work of East New Yorkers involved in the arts community. Advertisements and photographs appear throughout.
