    I'm afraid it's unclear only to you. It specifically refers to "a 1999 deal" and "amended joint operating agreement the papers reached in 1999." The JOA, as you know, dates back to the early 1980s.

    But if there is confusion in your mind, you might want to rely on a story from a Seattle paper rather than an AP story on a Portland TV station's site (particularly since all they did was rewrite the original newspaper story anyway). That would be a better service to your readers.

    The article itself is not clear on that:

    A group that hopes to see both of Seattle's daily papers remain in business has asked a judge to invalidate a 1999 deal between the papers.

    The Committee for a Two-Newspaper Town filed the motion in King County Superior Court on Tuesday, saying that Judge Greg Canova should find that the amended joint operating agreement the papers reached in 1999 violated the state Constitution.

    You may want to actually read the story before writing your headlines: The Committee for a Two-Newspaper Town did not ask a judge "to disappear the Joint Operating Agreement" between the Times and P-I. They're referring to an amendment to the JOA that the papers agreed to in 1999.
