As we celebrate our 55th year of progressive and radical journalism -- now it's time to merge the freepress.org and colsfreepress.com websites back together!
Local creatives Robb and Erik Ebright are working hard to merge, update, program and design a new Columbus Free Press website and we want to make sure they are compensated for their expertise and years of dedication to bringing you the other side of the news.
The new Free Press website will combine the local central Ohio and Ohio-related content with the national and international stories we've been providing since 1970.
The Columbus Free Press is a project of the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are fully tax deductible.
