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.”

The California Post will offer content that will appear across multiple platforms and formats, including mobile and desktop sites, video, audio, social media and a daily print edition.
“California is obviously a massive state, so we’re going to pick the stories that have resonance with our readers but also play a significant role in leading the debate here in California and Los Angeles. 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.

Utah
Utah Blanks Philadelphia, 3-0 | Utah Mammoth
Schmaltz’s 24 goals this season are a new career-high. He’s been a consistently strong presence and has taken on more responsibility with the switch from wing to center. His goal on the power play came just eight seconds into the man-advantage and opened the scoring early in the second period. In addition to his goal, he had an assist on Utah’s second goal of the game. Tourigny discussed Schmaltz’s maturity following the win.
“He’s a mature person, mature man,” Tourigny explained. “He really wants to make a difference. I always say about Schmaltz, (he’s) a gamer. He wants to play in those moments, and I think he’s excited about where our team is at, and he wants to be a big part of it, and he is. He’s a huge leader for us.”
Utah held Philadelphia to 16 total shots: four in the first period, seven in the second, and five in the third. The Mammoth showed their strong defensive game in the win.
“I think that’s when we’re at our best, when we’re defending hard,” Schmaltz said. “We’re playing with a lot of pace, not giving them time and space, frustrating them, and making them force plays, and then we turn it over and go the other way.”
On the flip side, against a stingy Philadelphia defense, Utah generated 23 shots including 14 in the second period. Schmaltz spoke to what led to the increased opportunities in the middle frame.
“A little bit more direct,” Schmaltz shared. “I think our transition game was really good. We were catching them, kind of hemming them in. Good line changes and just rolling them over and shooting a little bit more.”
In addition to Schmaltz’s goal, Captain Clayton Keller scored his 19th of the season seven and half minutes after his linemate’s tally to increase the score to 2-0. Michael Carcone’s empty net goal with 1:48 left in regulation secured the 3-0 win.
Additional Notes from Tonight (per Mammoth PR)
- The Mammoth’s power play went 1-for-2 against the Flyers. Utah has scored seven power play goals in seven games (7-for-18, 38.9%). On the other side of special teams, the Mammoth’s penalty kill went 3-for-3.
- JJ Peterka played his 300th NHL game. Peterka was selected 34th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft and is the ninth player from his draft class to reach the milestone. He is also just the eighth German-born forward in NHL history to accomplish the feat.
- Keller has recorded 11 points in his last seven games (2/2-3/5: 3g, 8a), finding the scoresheet in six of those contests.
- With two assists tonight, Dylan Guenther has posted his second straight multi-point outing (3/3 at WSH: 1g, 1a) and his third in five games (2/25 vs. COL: 2g).
Utah has won the first two games of a five-game road trip. Up next, the Mammoth travel to Columbus and face the Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
Upcoming Schedule
Washington
Capitals Acquire a Conditional First-Round Pick in Either 2026 or 2027 and a 2027 Third-Round Pick from Anaheim for John Carlson | Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals have acquired a conditional first-round pick in either the 2026 NHL Draft or the 2027 NHL Draft and a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft from the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman John Carlson, senior vice president and general manager Chris Patrick announced today. Should Anaheim qualify for the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Anaheim will transfer its 2026 first-round pick to Washington. If Anaheim fails to qualify for the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Anaheim has the option to retain its 2026 first-round pick and transfer its 2027 first-round pick to Washington instead.
“Since joining our organization 17 years ago, John Carlson has exemplified what it means to be a Washington Capital every day,” said Patrick. “John’s determination, leadership, persistence and skill helped our franchise reach new heights and cemented him as a cornerstone and one of the greatest players in Capitals history. His contributions to our organization and the Washington, D.C., community both on and off the ice have been immeasurable. We are incredibly grateful for everything John has given to our team and wish him and his family nothing but the best moving forward with Anaheim.”
The Capitals own 22 total picks in the next three drafts, including four first-round selections and nine picks in the first three rounds. Washington also acquired a 2029 second-round pick from the Vegas Golden Knights on March 5.
Carlson, 36, recorded 46 points (10g, 36a) in 55 games with the Capitals this season and will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Carlson has played his entire 17-season career with the Capitals and is the franchise’s all-time leader in games played (1,143), goals (166), assists (605) and points (771) among defensemen. The Natick, Massachusetts native helped lead the Capitals to their first Stanley Cup championship in 2018, and led all defensemen in playoff scoring with 20 points (5g, 15a) in 24 games played. Carlson was originally drafted by Washington in the first round (27th overall) of the 2008 NHL Draft.
