What is New York Post?

The New York Post is a daily tabloid newspaper published in New York City. Founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, the Post has the distinction of being the oldest continuously published daily newspaper in the United States.

The Post is known for its conservative political stance and sensationalist headlines designed to grab readers' attention. It has a reputation for aggressive and sometimes inflammatory coverage, particularly of crime, scandals, and celebrity gossip.

The Post is currently owned by News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch's global media company. Under Murdoch's ownership and the editorship of Col Allan, the paper increased its populist conservative commentary and became a vocal supporter of Republicans and President Donald Trump.

The New York Post caters towards a primarily working-class readership in New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area. It is known as a classic tabloid-style newspaper focused on entertainment news and scandals alongside more traditional politics and business coverage.

The Post competes for readership directly with The New York Daily News, a fellow New York tabloid, and more broadly with The New York Times. Despite its sensationalism, the Post continues to influence New York politics and culture as the oldest mass circulation daily newspaper in the United States.
