About The Free Press
The Free Press is one of the fastest-growing media organizations in the world, founded by Bari Weiss and built on the ideals that once defined great American journalism: honesty, doggedness, and fierce independence. We publish investigative reporting and provocative commentary about the world as it actually is—with the quality once expected from the legacy press, but with the fearlessness of the new. Our mission is to illuminate overlooked and nuanced ideas, challenge conventional narratives, and bring clarity to complex issues—from tariffs and the role of Wall Street, to the debate of Bitcoin vs. gold, to the impact of AI on our daily lives. We reach hundreds of thousands of highly engaged subscribers through our newsletter network and extend our impact with bundled offerings that include the podcast Honestly with Bari Weiss, live events, and original video content. As a rapidly growing digital media company, we are committed to building a thriving community of readers and listeners who value independent thinking and rigorous storytelling.
