New York Post

The New York Post is a daily newspaper in New York City, New York, USA covering local news, sports, business, politics and community events.

The newspaper is published seven days a week.

It is one of the worst American media outlets, according to Mondo Times members.

The New York Post is the leading tabloid newspaper published in New York City, focusing on sensational coverage of crime and celebrities along with detailed sports reporting. Under the ownership of News Corporation its political news coverage has leaned to the right.

Established on November 16, 1801, it is the oldest continuously published newspaper in the United States and the nation's 13th oldest newspaper. 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 who 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.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation bought the New York Post in 1976 and owned it until 1988, when it was forced to sell the paper due to FCC cross-ownership regulations after the company bought WNYW TV Channel 5. Real estate developer Peter S. Kalikow owned the Post from 1988 until 1993, when he declared bankruptcy. At that time News Corporation again bought the newspaper.

News Corporation owns many high-circulation tabloid newspapers around the world including The Sun in London.

Circulation estimate: 422,060

The New York Post is one of the highest circulation newspapers in the USA.

News Corporation Split Not Good News for New York Post
-- That's the opinion of Jeff Bercovici of Forbes Magazine. Bercovici points out that more than half of the New York Post's circulation currently comes from single-copy newsstand sales.
