Application for Approval of a Joint Operating Arrangement Under the Newspaper Preservation Act

The Attorney General is not required as a matter of law to disapprove an application for a joint operating arrangement under the Newspaper Preservation Act because the allegedly failing participant in the, proposed arrangement has not been offered for sale, and no good faith efforts have been made to find a purchaser ready, willing, and able to operate it independently. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/23021/download.
