CNN Faces Class-Action Suit Alleging Racial Discrimination

Internal data shows that African-Americans face a “glass ceiling” at CNN, according to a class-action lawsuit filed on Wednesday. The suit, filed in Atlanta, draws heavily on an internal HR Diversity Trends Report, which showed that men of color consistently received the lowest ratings on performance reviews. The report also found that the upper ranks of management were substantially less diverse than the company as a whole.

Though CNN and its parent, Turner Broadcasting, which is owned by Time Warner, have made efforts to diversify, the class-action suit alleges that once they are hired, African-Americans are held back by an unfair and arbitrary promotions process. The suit alleges that African-Americans must wait much longer for promotions, and make less than their white counterparts.
