The New York Post was founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton as the New-York Evening Post, making it America's oldest continuously published daily newspaper. Originally a Federalist mouthpiece, the paper went through various owners, including William Cullen Bryant and Theodore Thackrey, before Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation purchased it in 1976. Murdoch's ownership was interrupted when he had to sell the paper to Peter S. Kalikow in 1988 to comply with FCC cross-ownership rules, but News Corporation reacquired it in 1993. The paper became a tabloid in 1942 and is now known for its celebrity and entertainment news, alongside its general news coverage.
