History
The New York Post was founded on November 16, 1801, by the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton and a group of investors from the Federalist Party (led by Hamilton at the time). The first editor was William Coleman, but a more well-known editor was William Cullen Bryant, an abolitionist and poet. Jesse Angelo became the executive publisher and CEO of the New York Post in 2009.[1][2][3]
From 1976 to 1988, the paper was owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. When News Corporation acquired WNYW TV Channel 5, the organization had to sell the paper due to FCC regulations regarding cross-ownership. Peter S. Kalikow then acquired the Post and owned it from 1988 until he declared bankruptcy in 1993. The News Corporation re-purchased the New York Post at that time.[1]
