Alexis Johnson filed the lawsuit in federal court in Pennsylvania alleging the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was engaging in racial discrimination and illegal retaliation
reporter prohibited from covering the city's Black Lives Matter protests because of a tweet sued the paper on Tuesday.Post-GazetteThe suit says Johnson's editors told her she could not pursue planned stories on jailed protesters or social-media efforts to raise bail funds because a May 31 tweet she sent about the different treatment Black and white people get for doing property damage was an unacceptable public display of bias.
It alleges that the subsequent ban on her coverage “would tend to dissuade a reasonable newspaper reporter from making or supporting claims of race discrimination.” The suit alleges that white reporters who have sent similar social media posts did not receive similar treatment. Michael M. Santiago, a black photographer for the paper who says he was prohibited from protest coverage for the same reason, has accepted a buyout and is leaving the paper.
