About Us

The Free Press Media, a multimedia platform, serving majority of Southern Minnesota with reliable and trusted news for over 100 years. We believe in having a strong community which starts with simply enjoying what you do in that community. Here at the Free Press, we are constantly working on creative new ways to engage the community in fun yet beneficial reading material as well as local events such as our famous Mankato Meltdown weight loss competition.  It's an ever changing industry, leaving it up to our adventurous and talented staff to continue to think outside of the box - which has proven successful from winning several awards and growing our readership! 

HISTORY:

The seminal publication actually was the Independent which began in 1857. Six years later, it was bought by Charles Slocum and named the Mankato Union. Then in 1880 the Union and its rival Mankato paper, the Record, merged and became the Mankato Weekly Free Press. It ran as a weekly until that fateful day in 1887 when it became a daily paper, updating the name to the Mankato Daily Free Press. In 1970, the newspaper dropped "Mankato" from its name. In 1940, the word "Daily" was eliminated 40 years earlier.

The last local owner of the paper was Jared How, who sold The Free Press Co. to Ottaway Newspapers Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dow Jones & Co. Ottaway acquired 11 percent of the company in 1977 and the remainder in 1979. In 2002, Ottaway sold The Free Press and other papers to Community Newspaper Holdings Inc. In 2017, CNHI (Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.) merged with Raycom Media Inc. based out of Montgomery, Alabama.

In 2009, acknowledging its multiple media offerings, the Free Press changed to The Free Press Media. It also publishes the MN Valley Business magazine, Mankato Magazine, Kid-Oh! magazine,  and The Land, a Midwest agricultural publication. And it serves its readers through www.mankatofreepress.com which started in 1994 and now ranks as the No. 1 news website in the region.

Besides the numerous state awards for excellence, the FPM was named CNHI's Newspaper of the Year for 2010 and CNHI's Best Website for 2013.
