L.A. Times and Tribune to Pay $3 Million to Black and Latinx Journalists Denied Equal Pay
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In media news, the Los Angeles Times and Tribune Publishing have agreed
to pay $3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by Black and
Latinx journalists who say they were paid less than their white male
counterparts. Nearly 240 reporters, copy and line editors who worked at
the L.A. Times between 2015 and 2020 could be eligible for a portion of
the settlement.
