Mid-Illinois Newspapers, Inc. (the "Newspaper") moved to intervene in this employment dispute for the purpose of contesting the district court's decision to seal the settlement agreement reached between the litigants. The district court denied the Newspaper's motion to intervene, and the Newspaper timely appealed. For the reasons set forth in the following opinion, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
