US EditionCalifornia Post Brings Brash New York-Style Tabloid News to the West Coast
The California Post launched with a conservative, sensational style, offering print and digital editions amid a decline of 3,200 U.S. newspapers since 2005, News Corp said.
- On January 26 the California Post launched in Los Angeles as a digital-first tabloid with social accounts and a $3.75 daily print edition.
- Aiming to shake up the Golden State's media landscape, the California Post will transplant the New York Post’s brash, conservative style and emphasize common-sense accountability on homelessness, affordability, technology, and law and order.
- Nick Papps said the newsroom is on the Fox Lot in Century City and the staff of between 80 and 100 will cover homelessness, affordability, technology, law and order, plus Page Six Hollywood.
- Media analysts say the Post's combative tone could shift statewide coverage, targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom amid turbulence for the news industry and layoffs at Los Angeles legacy outlets.
- Analysts warn the print launch may struggle to turn a profit despite plans for World Cup and Los Angeles Olympic Games coverage targeting nearly 40 million Californians.
