    Donald Trump Makes History with Zero Major Newspaper Endorsements



    With just a little over a month until Election Day, Donald Trump has racked up zero major newspaper endorsements, a first for any major party nominee in American history.

    While newspaper endorsements don’t necessarily change voters’ minds, this year’s barrage of anti-Trump endorsements could actually move the needle come November, experts say. “It’s significant,” Jack Pitney, professor of government at California’s Claremont McKenna College, told TheWrap. “The cumulative effect of all these defections could have an impact on moderate Republicans.”

    Some conservative papers, which have endorsed Republicans for decades, are now breaking with tradition to endorse Hillary Clinton or, at the very least, urge their readers not to vote for Trump.

    Several have taken a stand even at the expense of losing subscribers at a time when newspapers are barely staying afloat. Some papers have received death threats. But for a growing number of newspaper editorial boards, staying on the sidelines is no longer an option.

    23% of Americans read a print newspaper and 51% read a newspaper every day either in print or online. That's a very large coverage.
