伊利诺斯州法律要求提前120天通知报纸销售, Illinois law requiring 120-day notice before newspaper sales is unenforced after a sale bypassed the rule.

《伊利诺伊州加强社区媒体法》旨在保护当地新闻业,要求报纸销售前提前120天通知,在Better Newspapers Inc.向州外Paxton媒体集团出售八份报纸后,该法受到审查,而没有向州和地方当局、雇员或非营利组织提供所需通知。 Illinois' Strengthening Community Media Act, designed to protect local journalism by requiring 120-day notice before newspaper sales, is under scrutiny after Better Newspapers Inc. sold eight papers to out-of-state Paxton Media Group without providing required notifications to state and local authorities, employees, or nonprofits. 该法律旨在防止外部公司合并并支持地方所有权,但缺乏执行机制,引起人们对其有效性的关切。 The law, which aims to prevent consolidation by outside companies and support local ownership, lacks enforcement mechanisms, raising concerns about its effectiveness. 2005年以来,伊利诺伊州三分之一的报纸关闭,当地报道工作急剧减少,因此,法律维护社区媒体的能力仍然不确定。 With one-third of Illinois newspapers closed since 2005 and a steep decline in local reporting jobs, the law's ability to preserve community media remains uncertain.
