Preferred term

joint operating agreements  

Definition

  • A joint operating agreement (JOA) in the United States is a contract that allows competing daily newspapers in the same market to share their production and distribution facilities while keeping their reportorial and editorial functions separate and independent. JOAs are designed to ensure a diversity of information and opinion by maintaining head-to-head competition between daily newspapers amid an ever-increasing number of one-newspaper towns.
