	Joint operating agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A joint operating agreement (JOA) in the sense of this article is an arrangement whereby two daily newspapers published in the same city or geographic area find it convenient to operate certain business aspects together.
		In the United States such agreements are permitted under the Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 and are thus not considered to be violative of antitrust laws.
		The legalization of these agreements stemmed from the fact that the alternative is usually for at least one of the newspapers, generally the one published in the evening, to cease operations altogether.

	Joint Operating Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Joint Operating Agreement is a federally sanctioned agreement in which two newspapers combine business operations while maintaining separate -- and competitive -- news operations.
		An example of such an agreement is the one between The Seattle Times Company and the New York-based Hearst Corporation, owners of The Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Seattle P-I), respectively.
		Twelve other newspaper JOAs exist, in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Birmingham, Alabama; Honolulu, Hawaii; Detroit, Michigan; Charleston, West Virginia; Cincinnati, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Las Vegas, Nevada; Salt Lake City, Utah; Tucson, Arizona; York, Pennsylvania; Miami, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; San Francisco, California; and Shreveport, Louisiana.

	Joint Operating Agreement, Detroit - CJR, May/June 93
		What brought about the stunning reversal was the court-approved Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) between the two newspapers, the largest ever under the 1970 Newspaper Preservation Act.
		The News's circulation losses have been so steep since the JOA went into effect in 1989 that some observers believe the paper's days are numbered.
		Before the JOA, the News was an allday paper and the Free Press was published in the morning.

	77999 -- Amoco Production Co. V. Wilson, Inc. -- Larson -- Kansas Supreme Court
		The operator in a joint operating agreement for the development of acreage for oil and gas purposes owes to the non-operators a duty of fair dealing.
		A provision in a typed exhibit to a joint operating agreement for development of oil and gas acreage is deemed to control the acreage and interests to be governed by the agreement where there is a conflict with the printed portion of the agreement.
		This court's decision construes the agreement of the parties generally as the Wilson and UMC interests request and requires that Wilson and UMC be an integral part of the agreement as to all of Section 35.

	Newspaper JOA will not be renewed after 2007
		Joint operating agreements can be created when one or more of a community's newspapers are in imminent danger of financial failure.
		Newspapers in a JOA are able to significantly reduce overhead expenses by combining all of their business and production operations while simultaneously maintaining separate and competitive newsrooms and editorial operations.
		The Cincinnati joint operating agreement was created after Scripps declared that the Post newspapers were in danger of financial failure unless the business partnership was formed.

		Joint operating arrangements have become increasingly popular in recent years as a form of health care integration.
		The Service is sending hospital joint operating agreement applicants a checklist of structural and financial factors for consideration in determining whether the applicants qualify for exempt status.
		If nearly all the powers ceded to the governing body of a joint operating agreement are subject to veto and reserved powers so that authority over a sufficient number of managerial and financial decisions is retained by the participating entities, then the requirements for exemption on the integral part basis would not be satisfied.

		Joint operations are all about community of interest and it is obvious that a change in the identity of the parties can affect expression of the common interest.
		In the event of litigation on the conduct of the operator, clauses 5 and 6 may prove to be the most significant legal changes.
		It does not change the typical liability of the operator, leaving the operator liable for damage to joint operations arising out of wilful misconduct (which is not defined), or the operator's failure to obtain required insurance.

	Detroit Newspaper Strike
		History has shown that joint operations initiated in the name of editorial diversity often result in the demise of one paper and a monopoly for the other, an outcome each JOA is specifically meant to avoid.
		Joint operating agreements in St. Louis, Columbus, Miami, Nashville, Tulsa and other large cities have given way to single-paper monopolies in the last dozen years.
		When then-Attorney General Edwin Meese approved the JOA bid against the recommendations of an administrative law judge and his own Antitrust Division, the case went all the way to a Supreme Court stalemate before being allowed to stand in 1989 for a record term of 100 years.

	Seattle newspapers to seek arbitration - Boston.com
		The Times has been trying to dissolve the joint-operating agreement with the Post-Intelligencer since April 2003, and has sought to invoke a clause in the contract that allows either paper to end the agreement if it suffers three consecutive years of losses.
		Under the 1983 agreement, The Times handles circulation, printing and advertising for both newspapers in exchange for 60 percent of their joint profits.
		Hearst spokesman Paul Luthringer countered that the committee is not party to the joint-operating agreement, and should not be involved in arbitration.

		The stated goal of such agreements, and the reason Congress allowed them despite the monopolies they can create, is to ensure the public has at least two differing voices from which to choose.
		Under the terms of that agreement, the JOA ended, the entire staff of the Examiner joined the Chronicle, and the new Examiner — minus staff and a printing press — became a morning paper, with its first press run happening about two weeks ago.
		The only JOA to have been created in the past decade is between the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News, which was agreed to this past summer and is awaiting approval from the Justice Department.

	Columbine Family Health Center - Advisory Opinion
		Your letter states that the joint operating agreement was necessary for Columbine to maintain its operations as a provider of medical services to residents of Gilpin County and adjoining Clear Creek County, because it was otherwise financially impossible for Columbine to continue to provide comprehensive medical services.
		The joint operating agreement governs such issues as the allocation of costs among the parties,(4) the occasional sharing of employees, sharing of medical records, fund raising, insurance, space allocation, and dispute resolution.
		The parties do not appear to be operating a single facility on a shared basis.(6) However, the proposed agreement does not appear to restrict competition significantly, and any incidental restriction of competition between Columbine and Provenant flowing from the proposed "patient sorting" provision is reasonably ancillary to the joint undertaking.

		Under the termination agreement, Liberty was to receive a $26.5 million termination payment, or slightly less than it would have received as guaranteed payments under the joint operating agreement.
		The purpose of the termination agreement was not to preserve editorial diversity through a joint operating agreement and not to publish two or more papers, the Justice Department argued.

		The new termination agreement, submitted to the federal court in Honolulu yesterday, provides for a similar payout, but only if the Star-Bulletin is sold in a court-approved sale to a buyer who can publish the newspaper independently from Gannett.
		The termination would end the joint operating agreement which allows the Advertiser and Star-Bulletin to share advertising, circulation and printing operations on condition that the two newsrooms remain separate.
		The amount Gannett would be paying, he said, reflects its contractual obligations under the joint operating agreement that called for guaranteed payments to Liberty Newspapers of $1.4 million to $2.5 million a year from 1993 to 2012.

	99-6344 -- Brown v. Samson Resources Co. -- 08/31/2000
		More specifically, the question presented is whether the preferential right to purchase provision of the relevant joint operating agreement allows a preferential right-holder to exercise its right as to a singular oil well sold as part of a "package deal" that includes other wells subject to its rights.
		The agreement described the property to be sold as "[a]ll right, title and interest of Seller in and to the oil, gas and/or mineral leases and other properties described on Exhibit "A"...." Exhibit A consists of ninety-three pages listing all the properties included in the sale.
		The fact the Coda agreement accounted for each well independently was a recognition that some of the properties were subject to a preferential right to purchase, while others were not.
