The Cape Breton Post is the only daily newspaper published on Cape Breton Island. Founded in Sydney, Nova Scotia, in 1901,[3] it specializes in local coverage of news, events, and sports from communities in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality and the counties of Inverness, Richmond and Victoria.[4]

On April 13, 2017, Transcontinental announced that it had sold all of its newspapers in Atlantic Canada to SaltWire Network, a newly formed parent company of The Chronicle Herald.[5][6][7]

In March 2024, Saltwire delcared bankruptcy.[8] Postmedia Network bought the remains of Saltwire in late summer 2024, including the Cape Breton Post.[9] About a month after Postmedia's takeover, major layoffs occurred in management, editorial staff, and writers, including cartoonist Michael de Adder which also resulted in local content being replaced by advertisements.[10] The Post's building in Sydney was sold in October 2024 as the paper is no longer printed in Sydney, but at the same printing press as the Halifax Chronicle Herald on the mainland.[9]
