New York Post

Founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton—yes, that Hamilton—the New York Post has spent over two centuries perfecting the fine art of tabloid journalism, now with a modern twist of irreverence and scandal. Known for its sensational headlines and unapologetic celebrity gossip, it’s the paper that made “Headless Body in Topless Bar” a staple of journalism lore. The Post has had its share of defining moments, from its feuds with Rupert Murdoch (who bought it in 1976) to its chaotic coverage of everything from real estate shenanigans to political faux pas. Valued around $600 million, it boasts a trove of journalism awards, though its penchant for sensationalism often lands it in hot water. Its controversies are as legendary as its scoops—from the infamous “bimbo eruption” headlines to its recent role in the Hunter Biden laptop saga. Under the current stewardship of CEO Jerry Levin, the Post continues to charm and outrage with its brazen headlines and unfiltered commentary, proving that, while news might be old, its scandalous delivery is forever fresh.
