Kinston Free Press

The Free Press is an American, English language daily newspaper based in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina.

It has served the city of Kinston and Lenoir County, North Carolina since 1882.

In November 2014, Halifax announced the sale of The Free Press and its other properties to New Media Investment Group Inc.

The Free Press (and its sister publications in New Bern and Jacksonville) returned to the broadsheet format on May 1, 2014, after readers requested the change.
