There is disagreement about equal pay for men and women working at a Western Massachusetts newspaper group.
Former Newspapers of New England executive director Jeffrey Good reportedly sent an email to all newspaper staffers letting them know he had been fired because he had fought for equal pay for several female reporters and a female photojournalist.
The media company publishes the "Daily Hampshire Gazette" and the "Greenfield Recorder", among others.
The company disputed Good's claims in a statement and said they were negative characterizations.
