Established in 1801, The New York Post is the nation's oldest continuously published daily newspaper and the 13th oldest published newspaper in the U.S.

The Post was founded by Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury and a resident of New York City. He started the paper with about $10,000 USD from a group of investors that were members of the Federalist Party that Hamilton represented.

Hamilton chose William Coleman as his first editor, but the most famous editor was the poet and abolitionist William Cullen Bryant.

In "Free To Be Ignored," posted on May 21, 2009 at The Big Money blog, James Ledbetter offers a very funny (and very likely fictional) anecdote about the Post:

The rationale that Bloomingdale's CEO Marvin Traub supposedly gave to Rupert Murdoch for not advertising in the New York Post: "Your readers are our shoplifters."

New York Post circulation dropped like a rock in the six months through March 31, 2009, according to numbers from the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) released on April 27, 2009.

The New York Post had a circulation decline of 20.6%, to 558,140. As a result it has fallen behind rival the New York Daily News, which lost 14.3% to 602,857. Previously the two papers were running neck-and-neck in circulation.

For all 395 daily papers surveyed by the ABC, weekday circulation fell 7%, from 37,066,075 last year to 34,439,713.

February 24, 2009: The New York Times reported that the New York Post is dropping Liz Smith's gossip column:

" After Thursday, the gossip columnist Liz Smith will not have a home in a New York City tabloid for the first time in 33 years. The New York Post — which has published her gossip column since the days when Donald was still married to Marla and Christie Brinkley was still married to Ricky Taubman — is dropping her column, citing hard times.

“Like so many other newspapers around the nation, we are buffeted by unprecedented economic gales,” Col Allan, the editor in chief of The Post, told Ms. Smith in a Feb. 9 letter that said he was not renewing the contract for what he called her “legendary column.”

Even for Ms. Smith, who turned 86 on Feb. 2, tabloids are so last century. She plans to concentrate on that newer medium, the Internet. She is a founder and part owner of the 11-month-old site wowOwow, for “women on Web,” and said she looked forward to posting scoops there — “free,” she said, “from the constraints of newspaper deadlines.”"

February 19, 2009: The little monkeys at the New York Post have had second thoughts about the wisdom of the so-called Obama chimp cartoon:

"Wednesday's Page Six cartoon - caricaturing Monday's police shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut - has created considerable controversy.

It shows two police officers standing over the chimp's body: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," one officer says.

It was meant to mock an ineptly written federal stimulus bill.

Period.

But it has been taken as something else - as a depiction of President Obama, as a thinly veiled expression of racism.

This most certainly was not its intent; to those who were offended by the image, we apologize."
