Bucks Free Press

The Bucks Free Press is a weekly local newspaper, published every Friday and covering the area surrounding High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It was first published on 19 December 1856. Despite its title, it covers local news for the High Wycombe region only.

The paper covers local news, features, leisure and sport. The sport section features extensive coverage of Wycombe Wanderers football club and London Wasps rugby union club, who both play at Adams Park, High Wycombe.

Alongside the main Bucks Free Press paper, the Bucks Free Press group also publishes the free Wycombe Star every Thursday.

The fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett started his career as a journalist with the Bucks Free Press in 1965.

Famous quotes containing the words bucks, free and/or press:

    To deny the need for comprehensive child care policies is to deny a reality—that there’s been a revolution in American life. Grandma doesn’t live next door anymore, Mom doesn’t work just because she’d like a few bucks for the sugar bowl.
    Editorial, The New York Times (September 6, 1983)

    Openmindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, Truth will always win in a free and open encounter. It should be fostered for its own sake.
    Richard Rorty (b. 1931)

    During the first formative centuries of its existence, Christianity was separated from and indeed antagonistic to the state, with which it only later became involved. From the lifetime of its founder, Islam was the state, and the identity of religion and government is indelibly stamped on the memories and awareness of the faithful from their own sacred writings, history, and experience.
    Bernard Lewis, U.S. Middle Eastern specialist. Islam and the West, ch. 8, Oxford University Press (1993)
