The Washington Post Building at One Franklin Square Building on June 5, 2024 in Washington, DC.
The Washington Post reportedly has lost more than 200,000 digital subscriptions, and three members of its editorial board have stepped down on the heels of its decision not to endorse a candidate in the presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
That is the same number of editorial board members who resigned from the Los Angeles Times' board in protest of that newspaper's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate.
A Post spokesperson declined to comment on either the subscription losses or editorial board resignations when contacted Monday by CNBC.
The Post's editorial page had planned to endorse Harris, the Democratic nominee, according to the newspaper's own reporting.
