The New York Post is launching The California Post in LA in 2026, targeting the state's conservative readers.

The New York Post Media Group plans to launch The California Post in Los Angeles early 2026, aiming to provide local news, entertainment, and sports coverage. Led by editor-in-chief Nick Papps, the publication will offer both print and digital content with a focus on California issues. This move reflects the New York Post's strategy to expand into the California market, where it already has a significant digital readership. The launch coincides with financial struggles at local competitors like the Los Angeles Times.
