The Columbus Institute of Contemporary Journalism (CICJ) has operated Freepress.org since 2000 and ColumbusFreepress.com was started initially as a separate project to highlight the print newspaper and local content.
ColumbusFreepress.com has been operating as a project of the CICJ for many years and so the sites are now being merged so all content on ColumbusFreepress.com now lives on Freepress.org
The Columbus Freepress is a non-profit funded by donations we need your support to help keep local journalism that isn't afraid to speak truth to power alive.

He explains the incredible struggle against Chevron and against a legal system hideously rigged against him.
With WENDI LEDERMAN, VINNIE DESTEFANO and many others we also explore the horrendous persecution of JULIAN ASSANGE.
