Joint Operating Agreement

In 2000, the parent companies of The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News announced an agreement to combine their business operations. In January, 2001, the plan was approved by the U.S. Justice Department. MediaNews and E.W. Scripps, parent company of the Rocky Mountain News, entered into the joint operating agreement (JOA), creating the Denver Newspaper Agency, which combined the business operations of the newspapers. The newsrooms of The Denver Post and its rival remain independent.

Under the agreement, the newsrooms of the two newspapers agreed to publish separate morning editions Monday through Friday, with The Post retaining a broadsheet format and The News using a tabloid format. On weekends, they publish a joint broadsheet newspaper on Saturday, produced by the News staff, and a broadsheet on Sunday, produced by The Post staff. Both newspapers' editorial pages appear in both weekend papers.
