California Post ushers in new era of journalism with ‘the DNA of the New York Post’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A new era of news consumption arrived when the California Post officially launched on Monday.
The California Post will operate as a separate entity under the New York Post Media Group but will strive to use the familiar “plain-spoken journalism” as its corporate sibling. The paper aims to bring accountability to the Golden State with seven-days-a-week digital and print offerings.
“We are bringing the DNA of the New York Post and that is journalism that is really, really plugged into the audience… it is the DNA of the New York Post, which is plain-spoken commonsense wit, and having a laser-like focus on what is of interest to this audience. That’s always what made the New York Post successful,” California Post editor-in-chief Nick Papps told Fox News Digital.
CALIFORNIA POST WILL LAUNCH ON JANUARY 26, BRINGING ‘NEW ERA OF COMMON SENSE AND ACCOUNTABILITY’ TO STATE

Papps said the California Post will look similar to the New York Post with its “iconic” daily frontpage featuring the story of the day. The key difference is the audience, as the paper will be true to the values of Californians.
“It’s a big audience. We’ve got 39 million people here in this state, the fourth-largest economy in the world,” Papps said, noting that homelessness, affordability and crime are critical issues for California residents.
Much like the New York Post, Papps said the West Coast paper will have “the best” coverage of hard news, along with sports and entertainment. There is a Page Six Hollywood, offering celebrity news and gossip while covering the businesses of Hollywood, and the back cover will focus on the immensely popular California sports scene.
NEW YORK POST EXPANDS WEST WITH CALIFORNIA EDITION PLANNED FOR EARLY 2026

“We’re not writing for other journalists, we’re not writing to get a Pulitzer Prize, we’re writing to serve the people of California, and do all we can to celebrate life here in California, shine a light in those dark corners that haven’t had a light shine in them and to have some fun along the way,” Papps said.
“So, when we put together our digital and printed offering, our focus is to make sure we are the place that people in California go to for everything they want to know,” Papps continued. “That we are the place that everyone wants to go first as they get up in the morning, check in during the day and see us before they go to sleep.”

You know, setting the agenda. What are the issues that matter? What do we think of the policies that the powerful are putting out? Hold them to account and make sure everything we do is for our audience,” Papps said.

Bug infestation found at California Department of Education headquarters, employees sent home
Bugs have once again been found inside the California Department of Education headquarters in downtown Sacramento, prompting employees to leave the building and raising concerns among workers about returning to the office.
Employees were instructed to go home after bugs were detected in the building, according to state workers and union representatives.
They say it’s not the first time. Union representatives and employees confirmed to CBS News Sacramento that this is the second bug-related incident at the headquarters in the past two years.
“If they’re in one place, it’s very easy for them to be throughout the entire building,” said Anica Walls, president of SEIU Local 100.
The discovery has renewed concerns about workplace safety, particularly as state employees prepare for expanded return-to-office requirements.
“Let’s do what’s necessary and make sure that our employees stay safe and that when they are in the building, they’re not contracting or taking home anything that they don’t need to be,” Walls said.
The California Department of Education confirmed the building experienced a bed bug incident in 2024. However, officials said they are still awaiting pest control reports to determine whether the insects recently discovered are bed bugs or another species.
State workers say they want a permanent solution rather than temporary fixes.
“It’s smart to fix the problem the correct way rather than trying to just mitigate the issue and shut down certain floors,” Walls said.
While most state agencies are scheduled to move to a four-day-a-week, in-office schedule beginning next week, California Department of Education employees will continue their current hybrid schedule of two in-office days per week through the end of the year.
In a statement, the department said it is working with the Department of General Services and pest control specialists to inspect the entire building.
“As stated in the message to our employees, we are actively coordinating follow-up inspections and remediation efforts and will provide updates as soon as additional information becomes available,” the department said.
Union representatives said the department was responsive during the previous infestation and expressed hope for a quicker resolution this time.
“Last time, they were really receptive to the conversations with employees, which was good. We’re hoping for another good outcome, hopefully just a little more expedient this time,” Walls said.
CBS News Sacramento also spoke with a local pest control company, which said that if the insects are confirmed to be bed bugs, treatment could take several months.
The process typically involves repeated inspections and treatments every one to two weeks, including high-heat treatments reaching approximately 160 degrees and extensive cleaning to prevent the infestation from returning.
