Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided April 21, 1983No. Nos. 82-3488, 82-3493 and 82-3523PublishedCited by 27 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
This action presents issues of first impression concerning the scope and operation of the Newspaper Preservation Act. This Act permits competing newspapers that meet certain qualifications to enter into joint arrangements which otherwise would be violative of the antitrust laws. In a memorandum opinion, the district court overturned the Attorney General’s action approving a joint operating agreement proposed between the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Seattle Times. We reverse and reinstate the Attorney General’s decision.
