Gannett, the largest U.S. newspaper publisher, won the dismissal of most of a lawsuit on September 4, 2025. This legal victory included the dismissal of all class action claims, which had alleged widespread discrimination against white journalists.
The lawsuit contended that Gannett's diversity policies led to job bias. The court's decision significantly reduces the potential legal exposure and financial liabilities for the company.
This favorable outcome helps to mitigate ongoing legal costs and allows Gannett to focus its resources on its core business and digital transformation initiatives without the burden of extensive litigation.
