Yes. I think that the CEO/owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, who bought the LA Times in 2018 and paid over $500 MILLION, realized that he needed to expand his readership in order to not go belly-up. And antagonizing, insulting and alienating the popular majority of people in the country was not beneficial for the bottom line.
Thus, his refusal to endorse anyone for President caused a number of his woke Lib employees to quit because he chose to remain neutral. And good riddance, it seems.
Yeah, but this is probably too little, too late. Newspapers, as such, are a dying form of media in America today. Most people get their news (or what passes for news) from various internet sources, blogs, and (sadly) late night TV.

What a great way to cut the excess fat without having to pay unemployment from firings!
Yes, good point!
Remaining neutral is not acceptable to the left.
You MUST pick a side.
So, his paper failed to endorse Harris. Woop-de-doo.
Does the LA Times have ANYTHING else on its record to it's favor?
999 slanders and crimes vs 1 'not endorsing' doth not a balanced sheet make...

In ten years they will all disappear. Ad revenue for print media of all types is falling off of a cliff.
It was one of two, along with the Washington Post
One of them. Another big-name newspaper that decided NOT to endorse Kamala was the Washington Post.
