Free Press Houston

Dataset

Article metadata census

One row per public canonical article record recovered from Free Press Houston's print issues and website, with attribution, reconciled publication date, issue, section and subject fields.

Coverage
4144 public records; 3074 carry a corroborated publication date and 1070 are undated. Body text is not included; it is on each record's page and JSON representation.
Methodology
Rows are read from the canonical article records after curation. The publication date is the archive's reconciled date; the raw date the surviving source stated is kept beside it, with the basis for any difference.
Rights
Descriptive metadata created by the archive is released under CC0 1.0. Rights in the underlying articles, photographs and artwork remain with their authors; the rows describe those works and do not license them.

The resurrected site renders 2 August 2026; that year is the known CMS corruption and is disregarded. 2 August 2018 is the established production and filing date; the exact original publication timestamp is not independently corroborated in the archive.——NewsNews | Montrose | Houston—webhttps://freepresshouston.com/gay-man-beaten-with-belt-buckles-rocks-in-possible-montrose-hate-crime/0probableverifiedrecovered
