It was established in 1801 by Federalist and Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, and became a respected broadsheet in the 19th century, under the name New York Evening Post.[4] Its most famous 19th-century editor was William Cullen Bryant. In the mid-20th century, the paper was owned by Dorothy Schiff, a devoted liberal, who developed its tabloid format. In 1976, Rupert Murdoch bought the Post for US$30.5 million.[5] Since 1993, the Post has been owned by Murdoch's News Corp. Its distribution ranked 4th in the US in 2019.[6]
