How Page Six Became the Most Feared Gossip Column in the World
The gossip section of the New York Post has endured where others have not. Established in November 1976, following Rupert Murdoch’s acquisition of the newspaper, it was James Brady who was given the responsibility to implement Murdoch’s idea for a page filled with brief news items contributed by various sources and edited with a distinctive, often humorous tone. Known as Page Six due to its initial location on this page, the column has survived for almost five decades. Today, it stands as the only remaining gossip column from that era, and it has become as well-known as the New York Post itself. In the past week, Page Six has been referenced in a Jeopardy! question and played a role in an episode of Only Murders in the Building.
