The masthead of The Washington Post is displayed on the office building, in Washington. | Charles Dharapak, file/AP PhotoA judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Washington Post by one of its reporters, Felicia Sonmez, over her claims that the paper illegally discriminated against her as a sexual assault victim when it banned her from reporting on such issues.
amounted to a claim that the newspaper had carte blanche to discriminate against journalists and seek refuge in the speech-protection law.said the Post’s actions curtailing Sonmez’s reporting were open to debate, but they did not amount to discrimination. “We respect the judge’s decision. We disagree with his reasoning and we plan to pursue whatever avenues of appeal are available to us,” Hora said in an interview.
Epstein noted that the Post knew of Sonmez’s claims of sexual assault at the time the paper hired her and he said it was “affirmatively implausible that her victim status or gender was a reason for the Post’s decisions concerning her assignments.” That aspect of the judge’s ruling may be of little ultimate consequence in Sonmez’s case and may have little impact in other cases because he appeared to conclude that any lawsuit aimed at impacting a news outlet’s assignments would have serious First Amendment problems.
