word choice - Usage of "its" and "their"








When a political candidate gets an endorsement from a newspaper, the sentence would be




The Los Angeles Times gave Candidate x its endorsement.




Is it appropriate to use their instead of its if we rewrite the sentence to include editorial board?





The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times gave Candidate x their
endorsement.
