California Newspapers: No On Prop 37
I stumbled into this blog of sorts on the Sacramento Bee this morning. Hopefully, you can view it without being a paid subscriber.
It has a table that shows the various recommendations a few newspapers around the state have made in regards the upcoming ballot initiatives. Much to my surprise, even the papers whose ballot recommendations usually lean strongly left came out opposing Prop 37- the GMO labeling initiative. All eight papers oppose it, in fact.
He doesn't list the Santa Rosa Press- Democrat but their editorial board also came out opposing Prop 37 the other day. It's nice to be on these papers' side of an issue for a change.

It's a good thing newspaper editorials have been analyzed and shown to not significantly influence elections. But conversely, they do negatively impact impressions of journalist impartiality.
