California Post: A Bold New Tabloid Venture

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp is launching a new tabloid, the California Post, in Los Angeles, aiming to capitalize on the struggles of the Los Angeles Times. Set for 2026, the publication will blend celebrity news, sports, and common-sense journalism, seeking to fill a conservative niche in the market.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp is set to launch the California Post, a new tabloid in Los Angeles by early 2026, marking its biggest U.S. newspaper debut in nearly 15 years.

Aimed at capturing the market challenges currently faced by the Los Angeles Times, the California Post will focus on a blend of celebrity news, entertainment, sports, and 'common-sense journalism' across various platforms.

Industry experts believe the publication could introduce a more sensationalist and right-wing voice amidst a state dominated by a left-wing media landscape.
