PhotoFox News faced a fresh legal challenge on Monday after Diana Falzone, a reporter at the network, accused it of discriminating against her on the basis of her gender and her fight against a chronic disease. “The issues raised in Diana Falzone’s lawsuit are a concern for all women,” Nancy Erika Smith, a lawyer for Ms. Falzone, said in a statement. “Fox News never banned her male counterparts who have discussed their personal health issues on air. Last week, 11 current and former employees filed a class-action lawsuit against the network accusing it of racial discrimination. A spokeswoman for the network did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
