“#LA Times, Tribune to pay $3M to settle pay discrimination suit<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The Los Angeles Times and Tribune Publishing have jointly agreed to pay $3 million to settle a class action lawsuit brought by multi-ethnic group of journalists who claimed that they were systematically paid less than their white male counterparts.<\/p>\n

The settlement is the latest in a series<\/a> of race-related turmoil that\u2019s roiled the publishing world amid nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis in May.<\/p>\n

The suit, which staffers filed in June shortly after protests began, covers nearly 240 current and former reporters and editors who will now be eligible for compensation if they were employed by the company between Feb. 14, 2015, to Oct. 26, 2020.<\/p>\n

San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge David Cohn gave preliminary app<\/a>roval to the proposed settlement to claims of gender, race and ethnic discrimination, the LA Times reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Black and Latino reporters, copy editors and line editors as well as all women reporters and editors were covered by preliminary settlement. Cohn is expected to give final approval in March.<\/p>\n

Even before the summer of discontent, one of the hottest jobs in media<\/a> in recent years has been the chief diversity officer as companies strive to show they are making diversity a C-level problem. Publishing companies have long been susceptible to criticism that they\u2019re far less diverse than the world they cover.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Group Nine, publisher of Now This, Thrillist, Seeker and the Dodo, promoted Fanta Camara, the human resources business partner for NowThis, as its head of diversity, equity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

Conde Nast in September said it hired Yashica Olden<\/a> from WPP\u2019s global cultural team to be the company\u2019s first-ever global chief diversity and inclusion officer. Olden started the new job Oct. 26.<\/p>\n

Conde, which publishes Vogue and The New Yorker, snagged Olden after coming under fire from employees past and present for racial discrimination in hiring and pay discrimination against people of color, which put 70-year-old Anna Wintour, longtime Vogue editor and Conde\u2019s artistic director, under intense pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just the publishing world that\u2019s beefing up its diversity hires. Des Moines, Iowa-based Meredith, publisher of Real Simple and People magazines, just lost its diversity and inclusion officer, Shona Pinnock, to luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. \u201cWe\u2019re in the process of conducting a search for her successor,\u201d said a Meredith spokeswoman.<\/p>\n

And in 2018 Erika Irish Brown was snatched by Goldman Sachs after spending three-plus years as Bloomberg\u2019s first-ever global head of diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

Michele Magazine, who runs Michele Magazine Executive Search, said that while diversity has gotten more press this year it\u2019s been a problem that the media has worked to correct for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it is enlightened self interest,\u201d Magazine said, \u201cbut I think there is a genuine desire to get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

William J. Milani, who runs the employment, labor and management practice at the law firm Epstein Becker Green, says the media business may not be any worse at diversity than other industries, but it is in the public eye more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe media world, whether it\u2019s print, or social media or television is important and in the public eye \u2014 and because of that it gets more public scrutiny,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say he thinks the media world\u2019s efforts to increase diversity is for show. It\u2019s \u201cnot window dressing and I don\u2019t think it is something that is going to go away in a few months\u201d because \u201cthere are studies that show that entities that are diverse outperform those that are not.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
