Abstract
This study examines how newspapers in Virginia and the Washington Post covered the 2013 gubernatorial campaign of Libertarian Robert Sarvis in their editorials. In addition to comparing coverage volume and type, the study analyzes how the newspapers responded to his exclusion from the televised gubernatorial debates. The study found that newspaper editorials treated Sarvis like other third-party candidates, but some supported his inclusion in the political debates.
