A newspaper or publication that is distributed free of charge to the public, often supported by advertising rather than subscription fees.
From 'free' (Old English frēo, meaning without cost) + 'sheet' (Old English scēat, a piece of cloth or paper). A modern newspaper industry term that emerged in the 20th century.
Freesheets completely changed how newspapers worked—instead of selling papers, they gave them away and made money from ads, which meant they had to appeal to huge audiences rather than dedicated readers with strong opinions.
