Jilted journalist not going away quietly

George Gombossy was the consumer "watchdog" journalist for the Hartford Courant for many years. He was booted from the newspaper, like thousands of other editors, reporters and photographers in the last year or two, but he doesn't plan to take his severance. Instead, he's going to sue Connecticut's largest daily newspaper. Good luck, George.

I expect to see a lot more of this from other journalists,especially older ones, who are suspiciously dismissed late in their careers. In fact, there is a new web site call JiltedJournalists.com that is beginning to get some traction with stories like Mr. Gombossy's. http://www.jiltedjournalists.com/News.html

I am not one to sue. I think there are far too many rich lawyers as it is. But there are times when certain injustices must be countered. Unfortunately, we don't live in an age where corporations always do the right thing, particularly when it comes to older workers. I think that's true in many industries, not just the news media.
