Overview

  • The California Post will operate as an independent outlet under the New York Post Media Group with headquarters in Los Angeles and a planned early 2026 debut.
  • News Corp veteran Nick Papps has been appointed editor in chief, while New York Post editor in chief Keith Poole’s oversight expands to include California alongside his national responsibilities.
  • The publication will produce a daily print newspaper and deliver content across mobile, desktop, video, audio and social channels.
  • The launch taps into California’s status as the Post’s second-largest digital market, with 7.3 million statewide readers, and aims to fill gaps left by recent cutbacks at legacy outlets like the Los Angeles Times.
  • Editorial coverage will mix tabloid-style headlines, celebrity and entertainment news, sports reporting and “common-sense” commentary from a distinctly Californian perspective.
