According to the article, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp is set to launch a new daily newspaper, the California Post, in early 2026. The tabloid-style publication will be headquartered in Los Angeles and aims to capitalize on the struggles of the incumbent Los Angeles Times, which has shed subscribers and staff in recent years.
The California Post will offer a familiar mix of "common-sense journalism," celebrity and entertainment news, and sports reporting across multiple platforms, including mobile, desktop, audio, social media, and print. News Corp's CEO and publisher of the New York Post Media Group, Sean Giancola, stated that the company already reaches millions of people in the Los Angeles market and across California, providing a solid foundation for the new venture.
Industry experts suggest that the California Post could fill a void for a more populist and right-leaning voice in a state dominated by left-wing politicians. The move comes as the Los Angeles Times' owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, has expressed plans to bring in more conservative voices to "balance" the publication's perceived left-leaning bias.
