Prince George Free Press

The Prince George Free Press was a local weekly newspaper published in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada from 1994 to 2015.

The Free Press was the first journalism employer for Michelle Lang who later died in 2009 while reporting from Afghanistan.

The final owner (purchased in 2010)[2] was Aberdeen Publishing, a collection of independent community newspapers in British Columbia and Alberta.

The founding editor was Shane Mills (future editor of The Now (newspaper) in Surrey and public-relations director for Premier Christy Clark) and the final editor was Bill Phillips (winner of the 2007 Best Columnist award at the British Columbia/Yukon Community Newspaper Association Ma Murray award).

The Free Press competed against the daily Prince George Citizen.
