The New York Post, the former Rupert Murdoch-owned daily that narrowly averted extinction earlier this year, announced that it will start a Sunday edition. The Post, a tabloid that is the nation’s oldest continuously published daily newspaper, is scheduled to begin publishing on Sundays on March 5. It will sell for $1. Plans to launch it came after “repeated requests and offers of support from our major advertisers and dealers,” said Peter S. Kalikow, who bought the Post from Murdoch in March. Kalikow, a real estate development millionaire, said he would invest $25 million in the new Sunday edition next year and increase the paper’s staff by about 60 people.
