MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Star Tribune has settled an advertiser lawsuit that had claimed the newspaper inflated circulation so it could charge more for ads.
The paper, which is the largest owned by The McClatchy Co., agreed to pay $55,000 to settle the case. Of that, $40,000 will cover legal fees and $15,000 will be paid as advertising credits to the plaintiffs, said Joe Snodgrass, an attorney for one of the advertisers.
He said the paper admitted no wrongdoing and the settlement bars him from disparaging the paper, but added, "I can certainly be clear that we're not signing off on their conduct."
