2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumEditor and Publisher's listing of newspaper endorsements so far...
I like to keep an eye on this starting right around now in the election cycle.

(31,384 posts)I was researching it over the weekend.
Look at the list of NY papers: The Wall Street Journal? What? Not ONE other NY paper?
Look at other states and you'll also find lots of omissions. In NC (where I live) neither the Raleigh
nor Charlotte News Observer are on the list. Neither is the Durham Herald Sun. Those have to be
among the 3 largest circulation papers in the state.
Los Angeles Times is missing from California. Several San Francisco papers are also missing.
So I don't think this is a good resource for keeping track of endorsements any longer. It's way too
incomplete.

(31,384 posts)You can't tell me that neither of those papers will endorse a candidate for President.
It's definitely slanted to the right leaning list of papers.

(1,573 posts)I expect the NYT and LAT will appear once they issue theirs. It's early in the game.

(4,787 posts)so there's nothing for E&P to report, yet. Last election, the NYT endorsement was published on 10/23/2008: it's still a little early.
