# The Arizona Republic: How do we respond to threats after our endorsement? This is how.

[After endorsing a Democrat for president for the first time in their 126-year publication history](http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/editorial/2016/09/27/hillary-clinton-endorsement/91198668/), *The Arizona Republic* has gotten a number of threats against their staff, from the reporters who know that this sort of thing comes with the territory to the kids who are selling subscriptions door-to-door who shouldn’t be dragged into editorial matters unless you’re a freakin’ monster. Mi-Ai Parrish, the president of the paper, [responds to these threats in this editorial](http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/2016/10/16/publisher-response-to-threats-after-republic-endorsement-clinton-trump/92058964/) with a reminder that the First Amendment is kinda crazy-important.
