The Los Angeles Free Press, also called "The Freep", is often cited as the first, and certainly was the largest, of the underground newspapers of the 1960s.
It was founded in 1964 by Art Kunkin, he as its Publisher into 1971, and continuing on as its Editor in Chief each week through June of 1973. Several others then took on those roles until March of 1978. Periodically, he resumed them all and then 'reincarnated' the LA Free Press as a bi-weekly print publication in 2005. Two years later his partner in that endeavor, its current Publisher, Steven M. Finger, became its sole owner and Editor in Chief.The Freep lives on with a constant online presence both on the internet and on Facebook with separate sites for politics and music, as well as 'pop-ups' of print editions (its most recent surprise distributed at nearly 100 locations within LA (of course) - and - New York, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta!)
