20. RESTRICTIONS ON ADVERTISING

A newspaper can refuse to accept advertising for any reason if it does not run afoul of the antitrust laws. For example, a newspaper will violate Section 2 of the Sherman Act if it refuses to accept advertising from a local business because the company is advertising on a competing radio station. Broadcasters also must be sensitive to antitrust concerns when developing advertising guidelines.
