“…Although refusal to deal when part of a scheme to dominate the market or suppress competition might be unlawful, in AP the court found no suppression of competition in the gathering of news; instead, it predicated its decision on the interests the public had in the service of the association. 147 International comparison helps to establish the relative strength of the Supreme Court's property-rights action. In Britain, aft er the nationalization of telegraphy in 1868, the Post Office stipulated that all newspapers be included in the formation of any nationwide news association.…”

In this article Professor Blanchard examines the Associated Press antitrust suit of the early 1940s in terms of its protagonists, Chicago newspaper leaders Robert McCormick and Marshall Field. The analysis avoids traditional antitrust terms and instead examines the suit as part of an effort by the federal government to use the antitrust law to implement a public-interest interpretation of the First Amendment. Professor Blanchard also looks at McCormick's attempt to obtain special legislation from Congress to void the Supreme Court's decision in favor of Field. She concludes that, although the government's efforts to use the First Amendment to force the news agency to serve a broader public interest were successful, the Associated Press emerged from the suit stronger than before the legal action.
