To endorse or not to endorse

Jump to Comments

Last week when I appeared on Scott Leffler’s radio show, the topic of political endorsements came up.


This is a discussion former publisher Steve Hall and I had and whether they were worthwhile. There is a lot of time invested in meeting with the Eastern Niagara candidates, then deciding as an Editorial Board who we want to support.

The question I have had and Scott echoed is: Should newspapers be in the business of endorsing, just because they always have? Are these endorsements necessary? Is the service provided worthwhile?

I’d love to hear (or read) what you have to say.

Thanks
