The New York Post Announces a California Newspaper
New York’s biggest tabloid is heading West.
The New York Post said on Monday that it would introduce a new version next year called The California Post, aiming to muscle in to an ailing local news ecosystem on the West Coast.
The California Post will have headquarters in Los Angeles and replicate The New York Post’s style of bombastic reporting, sports coverage and celebrity gossip from a California perspective, the company said. The newspaper will have its own staff of reporters, editors and photographers, though it will also share some resources with The New York Post. It will publish online and will print a daily edition starting in early 2026.
