Citizen Free Press is a U.S. news aggregator founded by the anonymous Citizen Kane.[1] The site is generally regarded as conservative[1][2][3] and bears a resemblance to the Drudge Report.[1] The explosive traffic growth of Citizen Free Press in 2020 lead to several[1] articles[4] detailing the success of the site[2] which is headquartered out of Bloomington, Indiana.[2]
History[edit]
Citizen Free Press was launched in 2017 and public SimilarWeb numbers show that by December 2020 the site registered more than 75 million page views[5] for the month making it one of the most trafficked news outlets in the United States.[5] Citizen Free Press was mentioned as the Drudge Report's main competition in Mediaite's 2020 "Most Influential in News Media" roundup.[6]
In a September 2020 interview with the Washington Examiner, Kane credited the site's success to a hardcore, dedicated fan base, the majority of which visit the site's home page directly every day instead of through social media. "I'm breaking every rule in the modern digital news business with no social media, no Facebook, no branding, no email, and the site is succeeding beyond my wildest dreams," Kane said.[2]
