I think that newspaper endorsements are about as notable as campaign contributions. When it comes down to it, at least with what has been presented to me, campaign contributions come from people who already support the candidate, not those trying to influence the candidate to their position. It's been pretty obvious for a while now the NYT would endorse Hillary. But their readers already do too. When it all comes down to it, the extra notice and support is nice, but it probably won't make that big of a difference.
