Owner sues ex-editor for damaging his old paper

There's yet another unfortunate development at the Santa Barbara News-Press in California where the editor and five other senior staff resigned last month over alleged interference from the owner (see Newspaper staff ask readers to stop reading). Eight other journalists have since joined the exodus. Now the proprietor, Wendy McCaw, has filed a legal action demanding $500,000 in damages from the ex-editor, Jerry Roberts. It accuses Roberts of breach of contract and causing damage to the News-Press. (Via LA Times)
