We're offering a 2-week trial of WrapPRO for $1. If you’ve been wanting to check out our full coverage, now’s the time. Greetings!The California Post, the west coast sibling of the historic New York Post making its debut on Monday, couldn't launch at a better time. There are no shortage of stories, with an upcoming Los Angeles mayoral race and California gubernatorial race on the political side. There are no shortage of high-profile figures like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a central antagonist to President Trump and likely 2028 presidential candidate. On the sports side, a major component of the New York Post, L.A. is shaping up to be a global focal point. The FIFA World Cup will be held here this year and 2028 brings the Summer Olympics, not to mention the Dodgers' pursuit of a MLB championship threepeat (Go Blue!). But how do you launch a traditional print publication at a time when newspapers are going all-digital or, worse yet, ceasing to exist entirely? The fragmentation of news and decimation of advertising revenue has battered outlets across the country, making the California Post a true oddity. Key to this initiative is the backing of Rupert and son Lachlan Murdoch, who serves as CEO of Fox Corp and Chairman of News Corp., which owns the New York and California Post. It's the latest extension of Rupert's global media empire. Whether the Post's conservative leanings will find an audience in the liberal bastion of Los Angeles is another question that remains in the air. While the New York Post has a built-in audience, it's unclear whether the California Post will be able to build its readership from scratch — particularly in a town where people commute primarily by cars and not subways and buses and newsstands barely exist. Our Corbin Bolies visited the offices of the California Post, fittingly on a 19th-century Lower Manhattan themed set on the Fox lot, to talk with Editor-in-Chief Nick Papps about building a newsroom in this day and age. It's a worthy read as we close out the week. Have a great weekend everyone! Roger Cheng
