Talk:2004 Media Endorsements
From dKosopedia
i have a spreadsheet database for these endorsements but i don't know how to integrate that into the wiki. so, i'm just using MS Word to generate these listings. --Drh 02:36, 22 Oct 2004 (PDT)
ok there's so many freaking links on this page that i was overwhelmed and just put them in Excel as i mentioned above. but the problem is now that people add stuff directly to the wiki page and i go back into the excel to regenerate the wiki page -- that's fine with me. what dKos really needs is an online database so we can collaborate. i'm going to post that somewhere else to see if i'm just missing something...
anywhere here are the materials that i have running the page if anyone is interested...

--Drh 14:43, 24 Oct 2004 (PDT) - just to be crystal clear -- please feel free to go ahead and edit the wiki page without worrying about any of the above. but try to keep consistent with whatever format is on the wiki page.
Just out of curiosity, what sources are you using for the circulation figures? The two that I've been using are The Audit Bureau of Circulation's Top 150 Papers List, and The Knight Foundation / American Society of Newspaper Editors "Newspaper Diversity" report, which covers more newspapers. Needless to say, the two lists do not agree with each other (sometimes, this appears to be caused by the ABC list combining cooperating newspapers like the Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Constitution; other times, well, beats me). Do you have another source that you use? -- Ray Radlein 21:47, 24 Oct 2004 (PDT)
- Aha -- another difference is that the ABC list uses Sunday circulation, whereas the ASNE list uses average weekday circulation. Since most endorsements come in the Sunday papers, I suppose that, all other things being equal, the ABC numbers are better. -- Ray Radlein 22:55, 24 Oct 2004 (PDT)
- --Drh 01:30, 25 Oct 2004 (PDT) mostly the E&P article and the occasional google ("papername circulation data") that goes to the newspapers site, then i only take the daily number, not the sunday number -- i dunno what the E&P article uses -- it'd be easy to cross-ref though.
