1. Editor and Publisher must have changed ownership.

Oct 2012

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.

Editor and Publisher must have changed ownership. mnhtnbb Oct 2012 #1

I think they're only listing them as they come in (including those who will not endorse)... mak3cats Oct 2012 #2

Yeah, which means somebody has to write in from the NY Times? The LA Times? C'mon. mnhtnbb Oct 2012 #4

The list includes only those papers who have endorsed, or stated they will NOT endorse, to date... mak3cats Oct 2012 #5

AFAIK The NY Times has not yet made an endorsement for 2012.. Princess Turandot Oct 2012 #6

My hunch is correct. Sold in 2010. Here's a link. mnhtnbb Oct 2012 #3

Read to my son, he responds: "Georgia has a newspaper?" AtomicKitten Oct 2012 #7

If you want to see a list of major papers and track their endorsements--or compare to 2008-- mnhtnbb Oct 2012 #8

A wealth of interesting info on this site (too bad I'm at work). Thanks for the link! (eom) mak3cats Oct 2012 #9
