Landmark Anti-Ageism and Gender Equity Lawsuit at New York News Channel NY1

Five anchorwomen at NY1, one of the country's most prominent local news channels, are suing their employer over age and gender discrimination, alleging a systematic effort by managers to force them off the air in favor of younger, less experienced hosts. Roma Torre has won dozens of journalism awards including 2 Emmys in her 35 year career covering every major news event in NYC. She currently hosts NY1's Live noon hour and she is also an award winning theatre critic. Kristen Bush Shaughnessy has been an Anchor at NY1 since 1995 and winner of numerous awards. Kristen was the primary weekday morning fill-in anchor with approximately 45 slots per year. After the merger with Charter, her fill-in opportunities vanished.
