Las Vegas Review-Journal Ceases Printing Rival Las Vegas Sun Amid Legal Dispute
The Las Vegas Review-Journal has announced it will no longer print its rival, the Las Vegas Sun, marking the end of a decades-long joint operating agreement. This decision comes amid ongoing legal disputes over the agreement, which was originally established under the 1970 Newspaper Preservation Act to help struggling newspapers maintain competition and editorial diversity. The Review-Journal, owned by the Adelson family, has been publishing since 1909 and is the largest newspaper in Nevada. The Sun, founded in 1950, has been printed as an insert in the Review-Journal since 1989. The Review-Journal's decision follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that declined to hear an appeal by the Sun, effectively ending the agreement. The Sun's attorney, Leif Reid, expressed concerns about the impact on the community, as the Sun will no longer be available in print, though it maintains an online presence.
