Gannett asked a U.S. judge to dismiss a proposed class action accusing the newspaper publisher of discriminating against white employees in an effort to diversify its newsrooms.

The lawsuit was filed amid growing backlash to corporate diversity policies following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that struck down race-conscious college admissions policies.

Gannett in a filing in Alexandria, Virginia, federal court on Friday said the plaintiffs failed to identify a discriminatory company-wide policy and cannot sue as a class because their claims involve isolated decisions by individual managers. Read more.

In her latest column, Greene looks at how big the litigation might get – and why it’s unlikely to be “fen-phen” all over again.
