Los Angeles Times Magazine Hit with Charges of 'Discriminatory Distribution'

As reported this morning by Robert Kahn of Courthouse News Service, there are a number of charges contained in a $13 million lawsuit filed against the Los Angeles Times magazine by that publication’s former publisher Steven Gellman. He is going after Tribune Co. for wrongful firing, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violations of business and professions codes.

The violations aspect of this complaint is sure to grab the lion’s share of headlines. Gellman alleges that soon after he joined the monthly publication in July of 2009, he started receiving customer complaints about “discriminatory distribution.”
