The Richmond Free Press is an independent newspaper in Richmond, Virginia.[2] Published on a weekly basis, it is mainly targeted at the city's African-American community and its poorest residents. Raymond H. Boone, its founder, started the paper in part because he felt these groups were underrepresented in the mainstream media.[3]
