(“Charter”) as follows: PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. Plaintiffs Roma Torre, Kristen Shaughnessy, Jeanine Ramirez, Vivian Lee and Amanda Farinacci are distinguished and award-winning on-air talent on Charter’s New York One (“NY1”) news channel covering the New York metro area. They have collectively worked at NY1 for more than 100 years – devoting their careers and dedicating their lives to New York journalism and the success of NY1. Despite these tremendous efforts and their indisputable skill, NY1 has blatantly marginalizedDeadline them and cast them aside in favor of younger women and men, in a transparent effort to reshape the appearance of the on-air talent. 2. Sadly, it is hardly a novel occurrence that the media fails to showcase professional older women in on-air positions, instead favoring younger women and men. The New York Times recently published an article titled “The Fight to Be a Middle-Aged Female News Anchor: Case 1:19-cv-05708 Document 1 Filed 06/19/19 Page 2 of 62 There is no fighting sexism on television without fighting age discrimination along with it,”1 which highlighted the experiences female television journalists have had to – and continue to – face in the workplace.
