California, here we come: A new Post is racing to the rescue
Great news for the left coast: California. As the Golden State's decline accelerates, the New York Post Media Group is launching The California Post to expose the causes of the rot. Based in Los Angeles, our new edition will contain daily content in print and online, offering the same intrepid, level-headed, reader-focused journalism that's made the New York Post so indispensable. Advertisement It'll report on news, entertainment, politics, culture, sports and business from a California perspective — and call out the lunatic policies dragging the state down, sending businesses and residents fleeing. For the first time ever, California is shrinking compared to the nation overall: from 12.1% of the US population in 2010 to just 11.9% a decade later, costing it a seat in Congress — and it's looking at losing up to five more seats after the 2030 Census. Since just 2020, more than 500 companies ditched the state or shrank operations while expanding elsewhere, per the Center for Jobs & the Economy. Advertisement Why? Life in California has worsened, thanks mostly to unchecked lefty pols. Taxes are off the charts (the top income-tax rate, 13.3%, is the nation's highest), yet poverty is everywhere. Regulatory rules and litigation block development, leading to sky-high housing costs. Last year, the California Policy Center found the state had America's highest unemployment, lowest income growth and highest poverty rate. Advertisement It highlighted Cali's ranking by Chief Executive magazine as the worst state in America to do business — for the 10th year in a row. Notable, too, are the huge costs of the left's green agenda. Meanwhile, armies of the homeless rule the streets; crime runs rampant. Lefty pols like LA Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom actually defend criminal illegal migrants. Advertisement The recent LA riots, and the fires months before, highlight the duo's feckless incompetence. But media there just can't (or won't) manage to call out the pols responsible. Count on The California Post to fill that role. 'Los Angeles and California surely need a daily dose of The Post as an antidote to the jaundiced, jaded journalism that has sadly proliferated,' quips Chief Executive Robert Thomson of News Corp, parent of the New York Post Media Group. Relax. The new paper will still be fun, and appreciative of the state's many allures: its stunning natural beauty, idyllic weather, diverse demographics — as well as the unique spirit that drove California's growth for so long, and still makes it almost a country in its own right. The new Post will honor the state's proud history — as the world capital of film and music and a leader in technology, military production, agriculture and tourism. And, of course, sports. The paper's set to debut in early 2026. Keep an eye out: There's hope for California yet.

Post Heads West: New York Post Media Group Launches "The California Post"
New Los Angeles-Based Media Venture to Bring World Class Coverage and Indispensable Reporting to California NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New York Post Media Group (NYPMG)—home of The New York Post, Page Six and Decider—is launching a new media venture, The California Post, in early 2026. The California Post will offer readers a unique and indispensable combination of fearless, common-sense journalism, celebrity and entertainment news, world class sports reporting and the legendary covers people expect from The New York Post—but from a distinctly Californian perspective. The California Post content will appear across multiple platforms and formats, including mobile and desktop sites, video, audio, social media and importantly, a daily print edition. The California Post will be headquartered in Los Angeles and staffed by a robust team of tenacious editors, reporters and photographers dedicated to covering the stories that matter most to the people who live and work in the Golden State. Across print, digital and social channels, the team will chronicle the incredible state of California—a global power center of culture, sports, business and politics. The California Post will also leverage NYPMG's national news gathering capabilities, sharing resources with The New York Post and adding even more value for readers. This new venture is launching at the right time for NYPMG, California and Los Angeles. The Post brand, influence and reach has never been stronger, with The Post Digital Network, which includes and attracting 90 million unique visitors in June alone. Ninety percent of Post digital readers already live outside of the New York media market. Los Angeles is home to the second largest concentration of Post readers, with 3.5 million monthly unique visitors—and 7.3 million across the state. This new masthead further positions The Post as a true national brand, substantially increasing its profile on the West Coast. The New York Post has achieved three consecutive years of profitability beginning in Fiscal Year 2022, an impressive achievement in a challenging environment for some publishers. NYPMG has appointed News Corp veteran Nick Papps as The California Post's Editor-in-Chief. Papps has nearly two decades of editorial leadership, and has helped drive editorial and commercial success at multiple publications. He has also served as News Corp Australia's West Coast Correspondent for nearly three years and was based in Los Angeles. Now more than ever, Californians need a media outlet dedicated to common sense, clever coverage of the most important issues, many of which are ignored or dismissed by current print and digital outlets. Despite its vibrancy—as well as the upcoming Olympic Games and World Cup—California lacks a voice that will hold leaders to account as they attempt to tackle the most critical issues facing residents. In fact, Los Angeles is fast becoming a news desert, despite being home to nearly 13 million monthly digital news readers. Thousands of stories are going untold and countless perspectives aren't being represented by a media ecosystem that has lost touch with the people—especially as the city and state face unprecedented challenges and leadership vacuums. Perhaps that's why The New York Post already outranks the leading LA-based publication when it comes to desktop viewership according to Comscore, and is gaining ground in every corner of the state. "Los Angeles and California surely need a daily dose of The Post as an antidote to the jaundiced, jaded journalism that has sadly proliferated. We are at a pivotal moment for the city and the state, and there is no doubt that The Post will play a crucial role in engaging and enlightening readers, who are starved of serious reporting and puckish wit," said News Corp Chief Executive Robert Thomson. "I am also pleased that Keith Poole's remit is expanding, as he will now be responsible for covering not just New York, but California, the U.S., the world and, perhaps, Mars." "This is the next manifestation of our national brand," said Keith Poole, Editor-in-Chief of The New York Post. "California is the most populous state in the country, and is the epicenter of entertainment, the AI revolution and advanced manufacturing—not to mention a sports powerhouse. Yet many stories are not being told, and many viewpoints are not being represented. With The California Post, we will bring a common-sense, issue-based approach to metropolitan journalism. We'll tell the stories that our readers care about the most, but others overlook, and we'll do so with clarity and our trademark conviction, across print, digital and the platforms where audiences live today. "I am also thrilled to welcome Nick Papps to The Post family," continued Poole. "Nick has a keen sense for the stories that matter, an understanding of what makes Los Angeles tick and the ability to apply The Post's unique voice to this vibrant market." "Our content is read everywhere from the corner store to the corner office," added Sean Giancola, CEO of New York Post Media Group. "We are trusted by millions for our direct and plain-spoken approach to news, and The New York Post has been the voice of the people in New York for 200 years. California is a vibrant, dynamic market where our unique journalistic ethos will resonate and engage audiences in meaningful ways." The California Post will operate as a separate entity under the New York Post Media Group and will launch in early 2026. If you are a reporter, editor or audience development professional, especially in the Los Angeles area, and looking for an opportunity to have an impact in the state of California, the team is in the process of staffing its LA-based operations.

BOLD RUSH: New York Post expanding to Los Angeles with California Post
The New York Post is heading west. The tabloid's ownership announced that it will launch a sister publication, The California Post, in early 2026. Based out of Los Angeles, the new tabloid will operate separately under the New York Post Media Group, a Murdoch-owned News Corp subsidiary that houses The New York Post, Page Six and Decider. The new paper will provide readers with the same flavor of fiery, gossipy writing they have come to expect from the Post, only now with a California focus. The West Coast version of the Post will include local and entertainment news, sports reporting, and, of course, its own pun-laden covers. The publication will notably include a daily print edition. 'This is the next manifestation of our national brand,' said New York Post editor-in-chief Keith Poole in a statement. 'California is the most populous state in the country, and is the epicenter of entertainment, the AI revolution and advanced manufacturing — not to mention a sports powerhouse.' 'With The California Post, we will bring a common-sense, issue-based approach to metropolitan journalism,' added Poole. The paper will be helmed by editor-in-chief Nick Papps, a News Corp alum who will report into Poole. As a member of the Post Media Group, the California Post will have access to its parent's newsgathering capabilities and share resources with the New York Post, according to the announcement. 'There is no doubt that The Post will play a crucial role in engaging and enlightening readers, who are starved of serious reporting and puckish wit,' said News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson in a statement. The gambit presents a major opportunity for the Post Media Group, as Los Angeles is home to the second-largest concentration of Post digital readers, accounting for some 3.5 million monthly unique visitors and 7.3 million statewide. Around 90% of the Post's digital readers currently reside outside New York's media market, according to the paper's statement. The announcement also looks to take advantage of California's atrophied news media landscape. As California newspapers have faced the same declining ad revenue and rising production costs plaguing outlets nationwide, some outlets have drastically trimmed their newsrooms or shuttered their doors altogether. The state has lost one-third of its newspapers since 2005, per Northwestern Medill School of Journalism's 2023 State of Local News report. By expanding into Hollywood's backyard, the California Post may also attempt to challenge the Tinseltown gossip dominance of L.A.-based trade publications like Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.
