New York Post Media Group Launches New Media Venture, the California Post, in Early 2026 New York Post Media Group (NYPMG) launched a new media venture, The California Post, in early 2026. The California Post will offer readers a unique and indispensable combination of fearless, common-sense journalism, celebrity and entertainment news, world class sports reporting and the legendary covers people expect from TheNew York Post--but from a distinctly California perspective. The California Post content will appear across multiple platforms and formats, including mobile and desktop sites, video, audio, social media and importantly, a daily print edition. The California Post will be headquartered in Los Angeles and staffed by a robust team of tenacious editors, retailers and photographers dedicated to covering the stories that matter most to the people who live and work in the Golden State. Across print, digital and social channels, the team will chronicle the incredible state of California--a global power center of culture, sports, business and politics. The California Post will also leverage NYPMG's national news gathering capabilities, sharing resources with TheNew York Post and adding even more value for readers. This new venture is launching at the right time for NYPMG, California and Los Angeles. The Post brand, influence and reach has never been stronger, with The Post Digital Network, which includes NYPost.com, Page Six.com and Decider.com, attracting 90 million unique visitors in June alone. 90 million unique visitors inJune alone. 90% of Post digital readers already live outside of the New York media market. Los Angeles is home to the second largest concentration of Post readers, with 3.5 million monthly unique visitors--and 7.3 million across the state. This new masthead further positions The Post as a true national brand, substantially increasing its profile on the West Coast. The New York Post has achieved three consecutive years of profitability beginning in Fiscal Year 2022, an impressive achievement in a challenging environment for some publishers. NYPMG has appointed News Corp. veteran Nick Papps as TheCalifornia Post's Editor-in-Chief. Papps has nearly two decades of editorial leadership, and has helped drive editorial and commercial success at multiple publications. He has also served as News Corp. Australia's West Coast Correspondent for nearly three years and was based in Los Angeles. Now more than ever, California need a media outlet dedicated to common sense, clever coverage of the most important issues, many of which are ignored or dismissed by current print and digital outlets. Despite its vibrancy--as well as the upcoming Olympic Games and World Cup--California lacks a voice that will hold leaders to account as they attempt to tackle the most critical issues facing residents. In fact, Los Angeles is fast becoming a news desert, despite being home to nearly 13 million monthly digital news readers. Thousands of stories are going untold and countless perspectives aren't being represented by a media ecosystem that has lost touch with the people--especially as the city and state face unprecedented challenges and leadership vacuums. Many that's why TheNew York Post already outranks the leading LA-based publication when it comes to desktop viewing according to Comscore, and is gaining ground in every corner of the state.

Murdoch's News Corp Reportedly Eyes Joint Telegraph Bid with Rivals Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation (NasdaqGS:NWSA) and the owner of the Daily Mail have held talks about a potential joint takeover of Telegraph Media Group Limited — one of the UK’s most famous newspapers — alongside the UAE-backed investment fund RedBird IMI, people familiar with the matter said.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 65% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (65% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.4% net profit margin). Aankondiging • Jan 24
