Encyclopedic overview

The New York Post (NY Post), founded as the New York Evening Post (originally New-York Evening Post), is an American conservative daily tabloid newspaper published in New York City. The Post also operates three online sites: NYPost.com; Page Six, a gossip site; and Decider, an entertainment site. The newspaper was founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, a Federalist and Founding Father who was appointed the nation's first secretary of the treasury by George Washington. Its most notable 19th-century editor was William Cullen Bryant. The newspaper became a respected broadsheet in the 19th century.

In the mid-20th century, the newspaper was owned by Dorothy Schiff, who developed the tabloid format that has been used since by the newspaper. In 1976, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp bought the Post for US$30.5 million (equivalent to $173 million in 2025). Since its acquisition by News Corp, the Post has been frequently criticized over the years for its controversial headlines and editorial choices along with accusations of bias in its political coverage.
