News Corp, which owns the New York Post, is starting a new newspaper in Los Angeles called the California Post.

It will be like the New York Post, covering news, celebrities, and sports.

The newspaper is set to begin in early 2026.

The goal is to provide a different type of news for people in California.

The New York Post is popular with readers, and the new paper aims to offer similar content.

This new paper is being launched because the Los Angeles Times, another newspaper in the area, is facing challenges.
