Freeport, we heard you. I’m thrilled to introduce Freeport Life, your monthly, hyper-local newspaper created for this community, by this community. Each issue lands right in your mailbox—10,000 copies printed, distributed and direct mailed to homes and businesses—reaching a potential 25,000+ readers—so neighbors stay connected to the people, places and progress that make Freeport special. As our inaugural edition debuts, we’re proudly “anchoring in Freeport.”
What You’ll Find Inside
Uplifting, useful coverage of local news, schools, sports, fishing, dining, business, nonprofits, and events—plus spotlight neighbors whose stories capture Freeport’s generous spirit and those who deserve to be celebrated. We pair affordable print advertising with digital lift: monthly e-newsletters, social posts and an online edition (with MyFreeportLife.com coming soon for easy reading and archives). It’s a proven mix—print + content + digital—to help local businesses grow on a smart budget.
Who We Are
Freeport Life is part of a decade of growth for the Life Media family alongside Bay Life, Destin Life, SoWal Life, FWB Life and PCB Life. We started 10 years ago with a simple mission: to bring all-positive, community-powered journalism straight to your door through direct-mail. Since then, we’ve steadily expanded across the Emerald Coast, building a network that amplifies local stories while keeping each publication truly hometown at heart.
Why We Do It
As a longtime local and publisher, I’ve listened to Freeport’s dreams and challenges for years. This paper is our way to champion what’s good, helpful and hopeful—while giving businesses a trusted platform to tell their stories and reach customers who live and work right here.
How We Partner With You
As we begin our first year, we’ll tell stories about your neighbors, local pros and heroes—your accomplishments, positive and valuable activities, sports, education, dining, entertainment and events.
Advertisers: Affordable rates, real reach, valuable content. Every print ad also gets value-added digital boost at no extra cost. Ask about launch specials and multi-publication rates across our Life Media network.
Community: We invite YOU to submit stories, news, expert advice, events and inspiring local features. If you’re a business with a great idea for an ongoing column, we want to hear from you. Businesses, organizations, students, churches, nonprofits and civic groups—this is your chance to find your voice.
Be Part of the Very First Issues
This is your paper. Let’s fill it with the good happening in Freeport—new openings, business growth, school wins, fundraisers, festivals and neighbor-to-neighbor kindness. If you have a story to tell or a business to grow, we’re here to help.
FREEPORT Life combines affordable advertising rates with direct U.S. Mail delivery, plus robust social media, monthly e-newsletters, and, coming soon, an engaging website at MyFreeportLife.com—providing added value through online editions, blog features, and archived content. We’re proud to partner with our advertisers to promote their brands across both print and digital platforms, giving each print ad powerful digital lift at no additional cost.
