Overview

  • The California Post is set to debut in early 2026 as an independent New York Post Media Group publication based in Los Angeles, currently in planning, staffing and mock-up stages.
  • News Corp veteran Nick Papps has been appointed editor-in-chief and will lead the California Post’s editorial operations from its Los Angeles headquarters.
  • Keith Poole’s remit has expanded to oversee the California Post in addition to his role as New York Post editor-in-chief.
  • The publication will combine a daily print edition with mobile and desktop sites, video, audio and social media platforms.
  • The launch leverages 3.5 million monthly digital visitors in Los Angeles and 7.3 million statewide as News Corp builds on its profitability since 2022 and local outlets face cutbacks.
