The French Press was founded in 2019 by David French, a prominent conservative writer and attorney, as part of The Dispatch, a digital media company. French, along with other conservative journalists like Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes, created The Dispatch to provide thoughtful, fact-based commentary and analysis in an era of polarized media. The French Press is French's personal newsletter within The Dispatch, where he shares his unique perspectives on current events. The Dispatch, including The French Press, remains independently owned and operated by its founding team. The French Press primarily covers political and cultural issues, with a focus on American politics, religious liberty, and the intersection of faith and public life. While politics is the main focus, French also touches on broader cultural topics and occasionally personal reflections. Based in the United States, The French Press offers in-depth analysis and commentary on national issues, often providing historical context and legal insights due to French's background as an attorney. One interesting fact: Despite being part of a conservative-leaning publication, David French has gained recognition for his willingness to criticize both sides of the political aisle. This approach has led to The French Press becoming a unique voice in political commentary, often praised for its intellectual consistency and principled stands, even when they go against prevailing partisan narratives.
