[corporate website; Wikipedia backgrounder] announced Friday that it had reached a $20 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit brought by advertisers over claims that it inflated circulation figures for the Chicago Sun-Times [media website]. Under the settlement reached after six months of negotiations, Hollinger will pay $7.7 million in cash and $5.6 million in legal fees and provide $7.3 million in free advertising. The settlement does not cover separate claims of certain advertisers. The parties still need to obtain court approval for the settlement, with a hearing scheduled for December.
