Louisiana Free Press, our expanded sister publication, a free-subscription online e-newspaper devoted exclusively to Louisiana political news, is now conducting test runs of its layout and format.

We will strive to offer the most in-depth coverage of state agencies of all news sources–print or electronic.

Louisiana Free Press will be supported by advertising revenue so that the citizens of Louisiana may enjoy unrestricted, free access to what their state officials are doing in their names.

Accordingly, we are officially soliciting advertisers for the online publication. Please email louisianavoice@cox.net for details and rates.

We will have a full stable of writers providing extensive coverage of all state agencies, boards and commissions, legislative actions (including committee and full House and Senate votes), cabinet positions, including K-12 education (Board of Elementary and Secondary Education), higher education (Regents and University of Louisiana System) LSU, Southern, DEQ, Natural Resources, Louisiana Economic Development, Public Service Commission, State Bond Commission, Attorney General opinions, Louisiana Supreme Court decisions, campaign contributions, etc.

We are very excited about this ambitious endeavor and we promise to strive to bring you even more and better coverage than LouisianaVoice has done for the past two years.

Our initial test installments are simply reprints of stories recently posted on LouisianaVoice. We did this in order to conduct a dry run to iron out any glitches and unexpected snags.

Please check us out at: www.louisianafreepress.com/

And please: give us feedback with your comments, observations and recommendations. We truly value your opinions: that’s why we exist.
