The ban prohibits the display or distribution of newspapers inside Fullerton City Hall and other public buildings.
As this letter from FAC and Freedom of the Press Foundation points out, “Press freedom means little if people don’t have access to the journalism they want to read. News publishers have come to depend on their newspapers’ availability at government buildings to inform the public. Their readership will suffer if the ban is allowed to stand, and so will the public discourse in Fullerton.”
