About The Free Press
What is The Free Press?
The Free Press is a media company founded by Bari Weiss in 2022. The company is built on the ideals that have always been the bedrock of great American journalism: honesty, doggedness, and fierce independence. We publish investigative stories and sensemaking commentary about the world as it actually is—with the quality once expected from the legacy press, but the fearlessness of a new and growing enterprise.
