When we started The Free Press, we knew that there were many people like you. People who didn’t feel like they were getting the whole story from the legacy press. People who think for themselves. People who wanted journalism that doesn’t pander, doesn’t play favorites, and doesn’t back down from the facts.

You are currently a free subscriber, meaning you only get only a fraction of what The Free Press has to offer. That includes a daily email—but not access to all our scoops, investigations, special subscriber live events, and a new set of high-impact columnists and contributors, including Tyler Cowen on economics, Jed Rubenfeld on law, and Coleman Hughes with his new podcast.

Starting May 19, our subscription price will increase to $10/month or $100/year from the current $8/month $80/year rate.

If you’d like to lock in the discounted annual rate before May 19, you can do that here:

We’ve also revamped our Premium tier, which is our single best value, and which also opens up a still deeper world for subscribers that includes a quarterly off-the-record video call with founders Bari Weiss and Nellie Bowles; two gift subscriptions, and a customized piece of merch each year. This year it’s a pair of our highly sought-after, American-made “TGIF” signature socks. Subscribe here. So, three subscriptions, all the Bari and Nellie you can handle, AND socks.

And we’re not stopping here. We’re committed to bringing you even more of what you love:

• An ambitious newsroom with fearless reporting— More investigative journalism, more exclusive scoops, and more coverage of the stories that matter. More focus on the economy and finance, science, religion, and self-improvement.

• A dedicated app— Thousands have asked for a better way to read Free Press content. Our new app is coming this summer.

• Subscriber meetups— Another frequent ask from subscribers. You want to meet each other! We’re making that happen starting this summer, too, in locations across America.

• An even better experience— We just added more ways to customize your email preferences, print-to-PDF functionality, and text-to-speech on all articles.

• Exclusive livestreams with world-class guests— We’ve hosted Douglas Murray, Lloyd Blankfein, and Lawrence Lessig in the past few weeks. And we’ll be doing a lot more live conversations, where you can ask questions directly of our guests.

We all know that the old world of media is dead. But the hunger for in-depth reporting, analysis and a new community that supports it—is very much alive.

We’ve proven that. And we’re building something new to meet this moment—together.

With gratitude and thanks,

Bari and Nellie
