The official E3 website have published the list of companies that will be participating at E3 2020 this June and Nintendo is missing from the list. While, Nintendo hasn't held an press conference in several years at the annual gaming convention, they have had a present on the show floor with their own booth.
It is possible the list of companies will be updated as we get closer to E3 2020 and Nintendo could still be added to the list.
Sony and Microsoft are also both missing from the list. Sony has confirmed they won't be attending E3 2020 for the second year in a row and will instead focus on their own events and other smaller events. However, Microsoft has confirmed they will still be attending E3 2020.

Headline should be updated to reflect that we now know Nintendo will be at E3.
MS isn't on the list either, which makes the entire headline pointless. If MS isn't on the list, but we know they are going, then not being on the list is meaningless. Which makes this entire article not worthy of news. Borderline clickbait.
Turns out Nintendo is still attending: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/missing-sony-e3-moves-one-biggest-backers-1270393
Yup, saw that too. It is a bit strange that they wouldn't be among the first to have their name on the list of show floor exhibitors.
Let's not panic just yet. They could still be there at E3 this year.
They skipped E3 twice. The first time was in 2013, and that probably wouldn't have helped the Wii U. The second time was in 2017, when the Switch and Breath of the Wild were selling like hotcakes and Nintendo was also still enjoying the residual effects of the Pokemon Go craze.
If Nintendo ends up not being at E3, then yeah E3 is dead. I think the leak of personal information was the straw that broke the camel's back in this case. Nobody needs E3 anymore though. The way we consume information has changed.
I'm good with game and hardware announcements being done at private streaming events like Nintendo Direct and whatever Sony has in mind for the big PS5 reveal. As far as the shows go, I care more about PAX and TGS than I do E3. A lot of times, even Gamescom in Europe has better announcements than E3.
Well, R.I.P E3
Too early to tell tbh. Let's wait until Nintendo says something about it before jumping to conclusions.
You are right, they cancel both E3 and every Direct. Everything is doomed.
NintenDOOOOOOOOOOM....
