A morning newspaper with a circulation of 125,000, The Freeport News
is one of the last family-owned newspapers in the United States. Because
of its long-standing commitment to quality local news coverage, the paper
has maintained a strong level of readership in Freeport and the surrounding
region. With 100 percent of Freeport households subscribing to the paper,
The Freeport News's penetration is among the highest in the nation. Moreover,
the paper's pass-along readership is more than three persons a copy, substantially
above the national average of 2.2 for weekday readership.
The Freeport News has effectively entered the new media age, with a
well-developed online presence, www.freenews.com. The paper maintains
an online editorial team of 12 reporters and four editors, an unusually
large number for a newspaper Web site of its market size. The site enjoys
substantial revenues to cover costs by combining online classifieds, e-transactions
for music, books and other information and entertainment products, and
a premium section of the site devoted to coverage of Freeport's advanced
high-tech sector, which derives in large part from the local research
university.
An award-winning newspaper and online news provider, The Freeport News is
committed to excellence in daily journalism both online and off.
