The Palm Beach Post is an American daily newspaper serving Palm Beach County in South Florida, and parts of the Treasure Coast. On March 18, 2018, in a deal worth US$42.35 million, The Palm Beach Post and The Palm Beach Daily News were purchased by New Yorkbased New Media Investment Group Inc., which has ever since owned and operated The Palm Beach Post and all circulations and associated digital media sources. History The Palm Beach Post began as The Palm Beach County, a weekly newspaper established in 1910. On January 5, 1916, the weekly became a daily, morning publication known as The Palm Beach Post.
