Des Moines Register: A former news director for Des Moines’ WOI-TV station will make her claim of gender discrimination in federal court. April Samp was let go in December 2019, shortly after WOI was acquired by McLean, Va.-based Tegna Inc. Samp is one of several women older than 40 forced out from WOI after the Tegna acquisition, and has argued that her age, gender and advocacy for gender pay equity at the station are behind the company’s decision to fire her.
