So, for the moment it is

Clinton 12
Johnson 4
None 2
Trump 0

Broken down by 2012 endorsement:

Clinton 12 (Obama 6, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 4 (Obama 1, Romney 2, Unknown 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 0


Strictly speaking, Trump does have ONE endorsement.  The Santa Barbara News Press (CA) endorsed him back in June.  Not sure if they will stick with it now though.

Citation please?  If it was an endorsement, I'll add it to the list.

Here you go - you can see the endorsement headline, but to read it you have to register:

http://www.newspress.com/Top/Article/article.jsp?Section=EDITORIALS&ID=567560425525346324

Also note that the News Press is somewhat "controversial":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara_News-Press_controversy

But, it is an endorsement.

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.  I'm not going to make judgement calls on the quality of newspapers; if it's an endorsement, I'll count it.

Interesting, though...in trying to find out who they endorsed in 2012, I didn't find a Presidential endorsement.  But their Senate endorsement was the one-and-only Orly Taitz. (http://www.newspress.com/Top/Article/article.jsp?Section=OPINIONS-LETTERS&ID=566435796928823358&Archive=true)

This brings the running total to:

Clinton 11 (Obama 5, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 4 (Obama 1, Romney 2, Unknown 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 1 (Unknown 1)

That's off by one from my list (I have 1 fewer Clinton/Obama), which is below.  Do you have one not on this list?

Akron Beacon-Journal   Clinton   Obama   24-Sep
Arizona Republic   Clinton   Romney   27-Sep
Berkshire (MA) Eagle   Clinton   Obama   3-Sep
Caledonian-Record (St Johnsbury VT)   Johnson   Unknown   9-Aug
Canton (OH) Repository   None   None   18-Sep
Cincinnati Enquirer   Clinton   Romney   23-Sep
Dallas Morning News   Clinton   Romney   6-Sep
Houston Chronicle   Clinton   Romney   29-Jul
Los Angeles Times   Clinton   Obama   23-Sep
New York Daily News   Clinton   Romney   28-Jul
New York Times   Clinton   Obama   24-Sep
Portland (ME) Press Herald   Clinton   None   25-Sep
Richmond Time-Dispatch   Johnson   Romney   3-Sep
San Francisco Chronicle   Clinton   Obama   5-Aug
Tulsa World   None   Romney   8-Aug
Union Leader (Manchester NH)   Johnson   Romney   15-Sep
Winston-Salem Journal   Johnson   Obama   11-Sep


You are right, I think I miscalculated.

You leave the tedious work to the mathematicians? Wink

You know, there are three kinds of mathematicians: those who can count, and those who can't.

I guess one could make the case that it makes sense to have a circulation cutoff. This paper is nowhere near the top 100 in the country for example.

True, but I think we could miss some trends that way (as a hypothetical example, a bunch of small papers decide to endorse Trump, but no big papers do).  If it becomes unwieldy then I might rethink this.

Detroit News, a major Michigan daily, comes out with an endorsement for Johnson, rebuking both Trump and Clinton:

http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/editorials/2016/09/28/endorse-johnson-president/91254412/

I believe that in 2012 they endorsed Romney.

Thanks.  I also updated the Caledonian-Record's 2012 endorsement from Unknown to None based on Wikipedia (better than nothing).  So the current totals are:

Clinton 11 (Obama 5, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 5 (Obama 1, Romney 3, None 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 1 (Unknown 1)

FTA: First time in their 143-year history they have endorsed someone other than a Republican.

Surprising, considering the Republican Party was VERY different 143 years ago.

The Arizona Republic endorses Hillary Clinton in its first ever endorsement of a Democrat for President of the United States.

They spoke to the one of the people at the paper on NPR this mourning. Seemed important.

Baltimore Sun endorses Clinton (no big surprise there - they endorsed Democrats four times in a row, but she is building momentum):

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-hillary-clinton-endorsement-20160929-story.html

The really funny part is them using quotes from usually conservative papers (Cincinnati Enquirer) to justify their endorsement.

Here's the current total, although since endorsements are starting to come faster as we approach Election Day, after this I'll refrain from posting after each one to try and minimize clutter in the thread.  But I'll update it at least once on each day on which there are any endorsements.

Clinton 12 (Obama 6, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 5 (Obama 1, Romney 3, None 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 1 (Unknown 1)

A couple of small newspapers endorsing Clinton that endorsed Obama in 2012:

Athens (Ohio) News: http://www.athensnews.com/opinion/endorsements/clinton-is-the-far-superior-option-she-deserves-your-vote/article_ae734150-8593-11e6-82fd-6f922b5a33fe.html

Falls Church (VA) News-Press: https://fcnp.com/2016/09/29/editorial-endorse-clinton-kaine/

New totals:

Clinton 14 (Obama 8, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 5 (Obama 1, Romney 3, None 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 1 (Unknown 1)

This is a biggie

USA Today: Don't vote for Trump.

They've never endorsed or unrecommended a candidate in their history, and broke their no endorsement policy. In the anti-endorsement, the USA Today editorial board says that Trump is "unfit for the presidency."

You beat me to it - I was just about to post it!

I agree - this could have serious consequences. The paper has massive circulation and not having done this before will carry weight.

OK, I'll add a new category to the spreadsheet.  And I'll track the non-daily papers separately.  New totals:

Daily papers --
Clinton 12 (Obama 6, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 5 (Obama 1, Romney 3, None 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 1 (Unknown 1)
Anyone but Trump 1 (None 1)

Non-daily papers --
Clinton 2 (Obama 2)

Coming in from all sides now - Akron Beacon Journal endorses Clinton (they endorsed Obama last time):

http://www.ohio.com/editorial/editorials/hillary-clinton-for-president-1.714360


Not at all surprising. I lived there for several years and the ABJ has always been a liberal paper.

Well Donald Trump has pretty much lashed out against the big national press, no wonder USA Today had to do this.

But, it is an endorsement.

This endorsement was for the primary. It should not be counted as an endorsement until they offer a general election endorsement.

Not quite a full endorsement from the Wall Street Journal (it is an endorsement for Clinton from a member of their editorial board) but worth noting:

Hillary-Hatred Derangement Syndrome
She alone stands between America and the reign of the most unstable, unfit president in U.S. history.

And while I am on a roll Smiley, here is an endorsement from The Daily Texan for Clinton (this is a college paper in Austin, but it is published daily and in 2012, they did not endorse):
