In 1961, he turned over the news section to Paul Sann and stayed on as editorial page editor until 1980. Under Schiff's tenure the ''Post'' was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare, and featured some of the most popular columnists of the time, such as [[Joseph Cookman]], [[Drew Pearson (journalist)|Drew Pearson]], [[Eleanor Roosevelt]], [[Max Lerner]], [[Murray Kempton]], [[Pete Hamill]], and [[Eric Sevareid]], theater critic [[Richard Watts Jr.]], and gossip columnist [[Earl Wilson (columnist)|Earl Wilson]].

==Content, coverage, and criticism==
{{Conservatism US|media}}

The ''Post'' has been criticized since the beginning of Murdoch's ownership for [[sensationalism]], blatant [[advocacy]], and [[conservative bias]]. In 1980, the ''[[Columbia Journalism Review]]'' stated that the "''New York Post'' is no longer merely a journalistic problem. It is a social problem—a force for evil."<ref name="CJR">''[[Columbia Journalism Review]]'', volume 18, number 5 (Jan/Feb 1980), pp. 22–23.</ref> The ''Post'' has been accused of contorting its news coverage to suit Murdoch's business needs, in particular avoiding subjects which could be unflattering to the government of the [[People's Republic of China]], where Murdoch has invested heavily in satellite television.<ref name="PageSix">{{cite news|author=James Barron and Campbell Robertson|title=Page Six, Staple of Gossip, Reports on Its Own Tale|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=May 19, 2007|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/19/nyregion/19six.html|access-date=May 19, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202074313/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/19/nyregion/19six.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&ref=nyregion&oref=slogin|archive-date=February 2, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

In a 2019 article in ''[[The New Yorker]]'', [[Ken Auletta]] wrote that Murdoch "doesn't hesitate to use the ''Post'' to belittle his business opponents", and went on to say that Murdoch's support for [[Edward I. Koch]] while he was running for mayor of New York "spilled over onto the news pages of the ''Post'', with the paper regularly publishing glowing stories about Koch and sometimes savage accounts of his four primary opponents."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Auletta |first=Ken |title=Promises, Promises |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/07/02/promises-promises-2 |access-date=April 26, 2019 |magazine=[[The New Yorker]] |date=June 25, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111024350/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/07/02/promises-promises-2 |archive-date=January 11, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

According to ''[[The New York Times]]'', [[Ronald Reagan]]'s campaign team credited Murdoch and the ''Post'' for his victory in New York in the [[1980 U.S. presidential election]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mahler |first1=Jonathan |last2=Rutenberg |first2=Jim |title=How Rupert Murdoch's Empire of Influence Remade the World |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/04/03/magazine/rupert-murdoch-fox-news-trump.html |access-date=April 26, 2019 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=April 3, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190426130110/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/04/03/magazine/rupert-murdoch-fox-news-trump.html |archive-date=April 26, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> Reagan later "waived a prohibition against owning a television station and a newspaper in the same market", allowing Murdoch to continue to control the ''New York Post'' and ''[[The Boston Herald]]'' while expanding into television.

In 1997, ''Post'' executive editor [[Steven D.

The daily circulation of the ''Post'' decreased in the final years of the Schiff era from 700,000 around 1967–68, to approximately 517,000 by the time she sold the paper to Murdoch in 1976.<ref name=":9" /> Under Murdoch, the ''Post'' launched a morning edition to compete directly with the rival tabloid ''[[New York Daily News|Daily News]]'' in 1978, prompting the ''Daily News'' to retaliate with a PM edition called ''Daily News Tonight''. But the PM edition suffered the same problems with worsening daytime traffic that the afternoon ''Post'' experienced and the ''Daily News'' ultimately folded ''Tonight'' in 1981.<ref>{{cite news |last=Friendly |first=Jonathan |title=Daily News Says It Will End Its Tonight Edition on Aug. 28 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/15/nyregion/daily-news-says-it-will-end-its-tonight-edition-on-aug-28.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 15, 1981 |access-date=July 30, 2021 |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114140412/https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/15/nyregion/daily-news-says-it-will-end-its-tonight-edition-on-aug-28.html |url-status=live }}</ref> By that time, circulation of the all-day ''Post'' soared to a peak of 962,000, the bulk of the increase attributed to its morning edition (It set a single-day record of 1.1 million on August 11, 1977, with the news of the arrest the night before of [[David Berkowitz]], the infamous "Son of Sam" serial killer who terrorized New York for much of that summer).

The ''Post'' and the ''Daily News'' have been locked in a bitter circulation war ever since. A resurgence during the first decade of the 21st century saw ''Post'' circulation rise to 724,748 by April 2007,<ref name="circ">{{cite web |url=http://abcas3.accessabc.com/ecirc/newsform.asp |title=FAS-FAX Report: Circulation Averages for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2012 |location=Arlington Heights, Ill. |publisher=[[Audit Bureau of Circulations (North America)|Audit Bureau of Circulations]] |access-date=May 21, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101001095406/http://abcas3.accessabc.com/ecirc/newsform.asp |archive-date=October 1, 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> achieved partly by lowering the price from 50 cents to 25 cents.

The ''Post'' has remained unprofitable since Murdoch first purchased it from Dorothy Schiff in 1976, and was on the brink of folding when Murdoch bought it back in 1993, with at least one media report in 2012 indicating that ''Post'' loses up to $70 million a year.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/28/rupert-murdoch-wall-street-journal-news-corp_n_1635680.html |author=Michael Calderone |title=Rupert Murdoch Suggests Wall Street Journal Won't Face Cuts In News Corp.
