Operations
Australian journalist Nick Papps has served as editor-in-chief since the California Post was launched.[2][3] Papps previously served as the weekend editor of News Corp Australia's Melbourne publication, the Herald Sun.[4] Barclay Crawford left his position as executive editor of DailyMail.com to serve as deputy editor-in-chief of the Post.[5][6]
The California Post has over 80 staff in their headquarters on the Fox Studios lot in Century City.[7][8][5] Papps said that the tabloid would also have reporters in Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco.[8] The paper will comprise local news and content from the New York Post.[8]
The paper is sold at 678 newsstands on the West Coast for $3.75USD each, almost double the $2USD price of the New York Post. Publisher Sean Giancola ascribed this difference to higher production costs.[9] Giancola also revealed that the paper's print edition will replace the physical copies of the New York Post sold in California.[8]
Page Six Hollywood
On November 20, 2025, Page Six editor Ian Mohr announced the launch of Page Six Hollywood via an email. He said that the spinoff will cover California news.[10][11][7] Mohr said that Page Six Hollywood would operate as a "five-day-a-week newsletter" covering entertainment and media.[8]
Page Six Hollywood journalists were poached from Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The San Francisco Standard and The Minnesota Star Tribune, among others.[8] Conservative commentator Joel Pollak left his position as senior editor-at-large for Breitbart News to become the opinion editor for Page Six Hollywood.[8][12]
