JOA = Joint Operating Agreement (between the two newspapers in this case).

Pinging with Tuesday afternoon Good News!
I grew up in Cincinnati, lived there until I was 23. It was a super place to grow up in the 40’s and 50’s. I remember the Cincinnati Post as a staple in our household and all the relatives too. I hate to see it go, even though I haven’t been there to read it in many many years. Guess I don’t like change like that. Some things should go on forever. : ) Sigh.
