Welcome to FREEPORT Life —
Your All-Positive, All-the-Time Community Newspaper
We’re thrilled to introduce
FREEPORT Life, the newest
addition to the LIFE MEDIA
family of hyper-local newspapers—joining Bay Life, Destin
Life, SoWal Life, FWB Life, and
PCB Life. With this launch,
Freeport now has its very own
monthly publication, created for the community, by the
community—with a front-row
seat in a network of eight connected local newspapers.
Residents and business
owners—you asked, we listened, and now we’re deliv-
ering. This new edition is designed to spotlight the people,
businesses, organizations, and
events that make Freeport so
special. Each issue will be 昀椀lled
with uplifting, relevant content
that keeps readers connected,
informed, and inspired.
Each month, 10,000 copies of FREEPORT Life will
be printed, distributed, and direct mailed to homes and businesses—reaching a potential
more than 25,000 readers
throughout the area. Inside
each issue, you’ll 昀椀nd upbeat
coverage of local news, 昀椀shing, sports, schools, nonprofits, community events and the
businesses that keep our economy thriving. We’ll also spotlight neighbors whose stories
capture Freeport’s generous
spirit and those who deserve to
be celebrated.
As publisher, longtime area
resident, and communications
professional, I’ve spent the past
19 years listening to Freeport’s
dreams and challenges—and
have had the privilege of getting to know many of our res-
idents personally. That heart
and insight will be re昀氀ected in
every issue we produce—guiding our pages and helping your
business grow.
FREEPORT Life combines
a昀昀ordable advertising rates
with direct U.S. Mail delivery, plus robust social
media, monthly e-newsletters, and, coming soon, an
engaging website at MyFreeportLife.com—providing add-

Eleven years ago, Marion Gipson
was diagnosed with Chiari malformation type 1. “I had it all my life,
but didn’t know,” she says. “It started with headaches every day. No
matter what I took, they wouldn’t
go away. The doctors told me I had
migraines, but I forced the issue and
got an MRI which led to my diagnosis.”
