Largely focusing on the neighborhoods of Flatbush and East Flatbush, the Flatbush Times provides local news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, clubs and organizations, arts, culture, sports, religion, and entertainment. Birth announcements and obituaries do not appear in the paper. Wedding announcements and engagements announcements occasionally appear as part of the column "In the Social Spotlight." A column called "News of Flatbush GIs" regularly appears as does a section called "VFW Notes." Advertisements and photographs appear throughout.
