Greaves described it as "an African-American paper. We speak from an African-American perspective, or at least try to..." The focus is on downtown Brooklyn through Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Flatbush, and Brownsville, though the subtitle is, "The Local Paper with the Global View."[6] It is the largest African-American owned and operated newspaper in Brooklyn.[7]
In 2000, the paper was described as Greaves being "the one-man band" of the paper, who every month "combines articles and photos of local interest with political essays and reporting."[1] Greaves is the son of the documentary filmmaker William Greaves.[8][9] Errol Louis used to write a column for the paper.[10] The paper had a sister publication, Our Time at Home created by Green.[11]
