Supreme Court rules against AP in Sherman Act case
The Supreme Court majority holds that the Associated Press violated the Sherman Act by restraining trade in news and views through its membership rules. It rejects First Amendment defenses and states freedom of the press does not immunize private restraints, while Justices Douglas and Frankfurt concur. Justice Black writes the majority opinion, Roberts dissents, and Justice Murphy dissents in part, underscoring potential implications for press freedom.
