MISSION: We will provide high-quality, credible news and information about and for the people of Oklahoma City and Oklahoma County.

GOALS

Be physically present when gathering news to gain a better understanding of the story.

Expose those who exploit the poor and the powerless and who profit from the hardships of others.

Expose intentional misdeeds, lapses in judgment, mistakes by public officials, and those who depend upon public trust for any kind of gain.

Report on subjects that are under-reported or ignored by other media.

Report news from cultures and neighborhoods in Oklahoma City that are often ignored in English language publications. Our coverage includes — but, is not limited to — news about:

  • Black culture
  • Hispanic culture
  • Asian culture
  • LGBTQ+ communities
  • Low wealth communities
  • Immigrants
  • Persons without homes

FUNDING

We fund our operations through a mix of individual contributions and smart advertising that emphasizes a network of relationships.

Free Press recently added a nonprofit fiscal sponsor to receive donations if that is important to the giver. The organization will then ensure that funds are spent by us according to the specifications of the gift. For more information, please write to editor(at)freepressokc(dot)com.
