What Is The Free Press (kinston.com) and How Do I Access It?
Updated
The Free Press is a local news outlet serving Kinston, North Carolina, and kinston.com is its website. You can read current headlines there across News, Latest News, Sports, Obituaries, and Business, and the site offers a subscription sign-up page for access to its reporting. If you are looking for Kinston-area local coverage, start at kinston.com and use the section menu to move between topics.
What the site covers
The homepage organizes content into five main sections:
| Section | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| News | Local reporting and community stories |
| Latest News | The most recent headlines |
| Sports | Local sports coverage |
| Obituaries | Death notices for the community |
| Business | Local business news |
A sample of the site's political coverage shows the local focus: an article on President Donald Trump visiting Greenville to rally Republicans ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election and to support Michael Whatley's U.S. Senate campaign in North Carolina. This illustrates the kind of regional and election-related reporting the outlet carries.
How to access The Free Press
- Open your browser and go to kinston.com.
- Use the top navigation to choose a section (News, Latest News, Sports, Obituaries, or Business).
- Click a headline to read the full story.
- To subscribe, follow the site's subscription link, which leads to a purchase page for the service.
The site's materials reference a subscription option, but they do not state a price or specify which articles require a subscription. Check the subscription page directly for current terms before signing up.
What to expect
The Free Press is a community-oriented outlet: its value is in Kinston-area news, local sports, obituaries, and regional politics rather than national coverage. If your interest is following Kinston events, local teams, or community announcements, the section menu is the fastest way to find them. If you need statewide or national news, this site is not the primary source for that.
