The Free Press

News, commentary, and investigations

The Free Press is a news and magazine app from Runaway Media Inc for readers who prefer reported features, opinion, and cultural commentary in one place. It focuses on independent journalism and longer-form coverage rather than trying to replace a general breaking-news feed. The app suits readers who want to follow current affairs through detailed articles and a distinct editorial viewpoint.

More than written articles

Content is available in several formats, including written stories, video investigations, livestreams, and podcasts. This makes it possible to move between reading and listening without using separate media apps. The podcast section includes shows such as Honestly with Bari Weiss and Breaking History, adding interviews and historical discussion alongside the main news coverage.

Follow topics and contributors

The Free Press includes alerts connected to selected subjects and contributors, helping users receive updates that match their interests instead of relying only on broad news notifications. Event information and community features provide additional ways to keep up with the publication beyond its regular article feed.

Who it is for

This app is a good fit for readers who value investigative reporting, opinion-led analysis, and a mix of text, audio, and video. It may be less suitable for anyone looking for a high-volume stream of short updates from many international sources. In the News & Magazines category, it holds a 4.87 rating from 824 reviews and has recorded 10,000+ installs.
