The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times among other newspaper outlets are facing mounting backlash after both recently declined to endorse a presidential candidate. The decisions have led to the resignations of multiple editorial writers from both publications and the editorial editor from the LA Times. More than two hundred thousand readers have quit their Washington Post subscriptions in protest. They are not the only publications that are changing it up editorially this election season. The Minnesota Star Tribune also announced earlier this year they will no longer endorse specific candidates. Jane Kirtley is professor of media ethics and law at the University of Minnesota Law School. She joined Minnesota Now to discuss the decisions by media to refrain from endorsing a candidate.
