Abstract
The study examines how two Florida newspapers' editorial pages treated state senate and mayoral races before and after Florida's right of access/reply state statute was found unconstitutional in the Tornillo decision. Assessed were how editorials, opinion editorials and letters to the editor changed in the St. Petersburg Times and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune after the 1974 decision. Arguments that Florida newspapers might provide less access and discussion for unendorsed candidates were not substantiated.
