An introduction to
Whether you’ve been reading us since the beginning, or this is the first time you’re hearing of The Free Press: welcome.
The Free Press is built on the ideals that once were the bedrock of American journalism: honesty, doggedness, and fierce independence. We make sense of the world as it actually is—with the quality once expected from the legacy press, but the fearlessness of the new.
You won’t agree with everything we run, and that’s the point. We’re a Free Press for free people.
