Washington Post Co. Still Party To Suit

Posted
By: Todd Shields The Washington Post Co. must remain a defendant in a lawsuit accusing it of unfairly undercutting competition in Maryland.

U.S. District Judge Frederic N. Smalkin recently denied motions to dismiss a lawsuit brought by small-newspaper publishers Berlyn Inc. and Kenneth C. Rossignol. The suit alleges antitrust violations by the Post Co. and its subsidiary Gazette Newspapers Inc., which publishes more than 40 newspapers in Washington suburbs.

No trial date has been set. The Post Co. contends the lawsuit has no merit.
