The Long Beach Post is a daily, digital-first publication. Rethinking how Long Beach — the second-largest city in Los Angeles County — should be covered, the belief is that Long Beach, and every community, deserves a publication that is essential to its readers – a publication that holds leaders to account, one that is locally owned and operated, with continued investment in the growth of the publication and community, one that binds the city together and calls its residents to action.
