We’ve always reiterated that our paper will always be open to sharing to whoever wants to share it.

The Free Press Journal reiterates its desire to keep all its readers informed and assures you that sharing the PDF or any form of the paper is not an illegal act.

Several media organisations have asked people not to share their e-papers or PDFs on social media, warning that doing so will attract legal action. Forcing people not to adhere to social distancing and stepping out to collect their favourite newspaper from the market is unfair. Moreover, amid the pandemic, people have been severely affected due to the resultant economic crisis.

We at The Free Press Journal have always believed that our first priority is to our readers, to keep them updated with the latest news through our website, e-paper and the PDF format of our newspaper.

We have always maintained that our paper will always be open to sharing with whoever wants to share it. We sincerely appreciate people who also help fellow readers read our newspaper digitally by forwarding or sharing the e-paper’s PDF on WhatsApp and other social media platforms.
