U
S A 21. REGULATION OF DISTRIBUTION OF
NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES OR PUBLICATIONS A contentious and important economic issue for newspaper companies
in recent years is whether a municipality can restrict newspaper
vending machines on public property. Courts have answered that question
in the affirmative, so long as the local law limiting news racks
is equipped with procedures to keep it from being administered arbitrarily.
For example, a court is likely to uphold a local ordinance if, for
safety and aesthetic reasons, it prohibited all news racks on the
city?s main street or near an intersection.
