I have recreated this article by greatly expanding an old version of The Free Press (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), but have not yet spent the time to find independent sources for many of the facts I added. If anyone can help, please, please do so.

BTW, creating this article takes care of a redlink in the Free Press disambiguation page.

Noting that the latter half of the History section contained similar information about things the FP has published, I thought a subsection would make navigation easier. I'm not sure whether "Coverage", is the most suitable term for the section name, but I added the section anyway.– St.nerol (talk) 16:49, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There has been a notability-tag on the page for some time now. Here's a WSJ piece that might be helpful to establish notability: [1]. —St.Nerol (talk, contribs) 21:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good find. Thanks!

It would be useful to have at least one more "reliable secondary source" talking about The Free Press. I found an iteminThe Australian of 4-Mar-2023 titled "How Bari Weiss fought for her own free press", but it's behind a paywall. Would these two articles convincingly demonstrate Notability? What do other editors think? Cheers, CWC 10:27, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And now Marquardtika, an experienced user, has removed the notability tag with the comment "the sources here definitely establish WP:GNG". I'm fine with that. CWC 10:02, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We probably should mention the public debate that TFP ran in Los Angeles last September. They sold all 1600 seats in the theater. Possible citations:

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Free Press (organization) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 05:48, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
