The headquarters of Szabad Föld is in Budapest.[1][6] However, its target audience is non-urban people[7] and it mostly covers local and agricultural issues.[8] In fact, the paper was called as peasants' newspaper or countryside weekly during its initial phase.[9][10] At that time the paper financed winter-evening lectures in the country.[11]
