Over the past year, the Post’s emphasis on creating engaging video content and distributing media to new platforms has also been very successful.

“We’re very happy to be on this record-breaking trajectory, and it’s not happening by accident,” said Jesse Angelo, CEO and Publisher of the New York Post and Post Digital Network. “Since we oriented ourselves towards a digital-first newsroom, redesigned our sites and launched the Post Digital Network, we have seen success unparalleled by any publisher in the United States, more than tripling our numbers. Editor-in-chief Stephen Lynch and his editorial team deliver content that keeps our visitors informed and entertained, and our Chief Digital Officer Remy Stern and his team have built a nimble and innovative platform, which is now being adapted across other News Corp properties.”
