The Burlington Free Press (sometimes referred to as "BFP" or "the Free Press") is a digital and print community news organization based in Burlington, Vermont and owned by Gannett Company, Inc.

It was founded on June 15, 1827 as a weekly paper and turned daily in 1848 in response to the invention of the telegraph. Today, the Burlington Free Press is part of the USA Today Network and offers local news coverage both in print and online at BurlingtonFreePress.com.

Free Press Media, a division of the Burlington Free Press, is a comprehensive media company that creates, implements and manages online and print marketing campaigns for local and national businesses. Free Press Media is the B2B marketing branch of the Burlington Free Press and is able to utilize the reach and coverage of the news organization to target audiences on behalf of local companies.

The Burlington Free Press print product is a “tall tab” newspaper that contains specialized sections that cover business, arts & entertainment, sports, food and local history. As a part of the USA Today Network, the Free Press also includes a daily inserted section from USA TODAY that covers national politics, entertainment and sports.

The Burlington Free Press mainly reports on stories that occur in Chittenden County with a focus on the towns of Burlington, Essex, South Burlington, Williston, Colchester, Winooski and Shelburne.

Stories from the Associated Press and from the national USA Today Network are also pulled in to the Burlington Free Press website and printed paper to help round out coverage.
