Newspaper Preservation Act  

Definition

  • The Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 was passed in 1970 to allow antitrust exemptions for newspapers in the same geographic region with agreements to share business and operating expenses while maintaining separate news and editorial functions. Known as joint operating agreements, or JOAs, these were intended to connect a “failing” newspaper with a stronger one. [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; Newspaper Preservation Act]
