City Paper is broken into a variety of different sections.
Naked City: The paper's news section regularly features A Million Stories, an offbeat analysis of current events in the city, the Bell Curve, the city's “quality-o-life-o-meter" and staff writers Isaiah Thompson and Dan Denvir's columns Man Overboard and Hostile Witness, respectively.
Cover Story: Typically a long-form feature, news, or service package, taking on various writing forms such as narrative, question-and-answer, and explanatory. The paper's front page art or design is usually centered around the cover story's content.

Regular columns include Robin Rice's Re:View, Justin Bauer's Shelf Life, John Vettese's Full Exposure and M.J. Fine's Reconsider Me.
Movies: Reviews and picks of local, independent and mass-produced films. Lead reviews are usually written by Sam Adams, Shaun Brady, Drew Lazor or Cindy Fuchs. The section also includes movie shorts (200-word graded reviews) and local repertory film listings.
The Agenda: A calendar of noteworthy events in the city, highlighting everything from clothing boutiques and book signings to festivals and music performances with quick, witty previews. Regular columns include Julia West's Shopping Spree, Josh Middleton's Queer Bait and Meg Augustin's Sexy Time.

Famous quotes containing the words print and/or edition:
“Who should come to my lodge this morning but a true Homeric or Paphlagonian man,—he had so suitable and poetic a name that I am sorry I cannot print it here,—a Canadian, a woodchopper and post-maker, who can hole fifty posts in a day, who made his last supper on a woodchuck which his dog caught.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
