My local read was suddenly as issue as the clerk stated that it was not FREE. I returned that, "The glossier and nicer Fernie Fix is FREE and the Free Press has FREE printed on the front page" to no avail. She demanded payment.

I think its worth paying for. You get weekly news specific to the area and its only $1. Its not their fault that there is hardly ever any exciting news in these parts. If it was more than $1 my opinion might be different. I don’t think comparing it to the Fernie Fix is a fair comparison. I do often wonder why it still has FREE printed right on the front. The Fernie Press might be less confusing and more appropriate.

the "Free" part of the "Fernie Free Press" refers to the fact that they are "freelance journalists" and are not owned by a government or an organization. To me the free press always have articles about all the important issues not only in Fernie but the Whole Elk Valley. Some recent things I likes about theie content was when they went and talked to all the people that have interests in the Flathead and asked what they thought of the mining ban. Big difference between "the fix" and "the press" imagine having to flip through all that advertising to read about Jim Abbott’s retirement plans? Not me.
