Cincinnati biz weekly covers Fifth Third lawsuits aggressively

The Cincinnati Business Courier, the weekly business newspaper in the city, has been aggressively covering bank Fifth Third’s legal problems, according to a review of the paper’s coverage in the past year.

That coverage runs tounter to a post (see below) by the Cincinnati Beacon, an alternative weekly, about how the city’s business media failed to report on a lawsuit involving Fifth Third.

Talking Biz News found seven lawsuits involving Fifth Third that had been covered by the Business Courier since February. They can be found here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

And sources tell Talking Biz News that a story about the lawsuit in question by the Beacon will appear in tomorrow’s issue of the Business Courier.
