August 2023: Work in Progress
editI 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.
Full disclosure: I am a subscriber to this publication. Cheers, CWC 10:29, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
History subsection
editNoting 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)
Notability
editThere 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)
- Good find. Thanks!
- It would be useful to have at least one more "reliable secondary source" talking about The Free Press. I found an item in The 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)
- 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)
Debate re Sexual Revolution
editWe probably should mention the public debate that TFP ran in Los Angeles last September. They sold all 1600 seats in the theater. Possible citations:

Move discussion in progress
editThere 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)
"Dead link" in footnote "[16]"
edit(At least, "as of" the "Latest revision as of 00:23, 20 August 2024" version of this article), the link from footnote "[16]" points to the URL https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/american-miseducation-teaching-hate-on-campus.php ... which (when I tried it) says
NOT FOUND
Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.
However, even when I tried using the "search" features of that web site [see the "S.R.P." ('search results page') https://www.powerlineblog.com/?s=American+Miseducation&x=12&y=11 e.g.] I was not able to figure out the "new" URL -- if any -- for the web page that [probably] used to exist, at the "old" URL -- (ending with 'dot' php) -- that is mentioned above.
I did find [e.g.] https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/american-miseducation.php but that seems to be by a different author.
I also found
- https://www.thefp.com/p/watch-american-miseducation-free-press-doc
This one has (after an explanation about Age-restricted content), a link to a Youtube video, which can be seen [on Youtube, apparently] at - U.S. Colleges Teaching Hate: American Miseducation (Documentary)
I did notice (with the help of the "Wayback machine" web site), that an archived "copy" of that web page that seems to have been deleted or "moved" to a new internet address ... could be found at [this "archive-" URL]:
So the best solution would probably be: to use "| url-status = dead", and to mention that "web.archive.org" [= the "Wayback machine"] URL as the value of the "| archive-url = [...]" field. (right?)
Any comments? Mike Schwartz (talk) 06:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
