Anderson News LLC et al. v. American Media Inc. et al. For this antitrust case related to magazine distribution, counsel for a publisher defendant, Time Inc. and its subsidiary, retained Cornerstone Research and Kenneth Elzinga, professor at the University of Virginia and Cornerstone Research senior advisor. The primary plaintiff was a major U.S. magazine wholesaler, Anderson News LLC.

In 2009, Anderson News announced to magazine publishers that it was adding a surcharge per copy it distributed, and would also require the publishers to bear Anderson News's cost of carrying inventory. When magazine publishers switched to wholesalers who were not charging those fees and had lower prices, Anderson News claimed that collusion among publishers and their national distributors forced it to exit the market.

what were the key allegations made by the primary plaintiff, Anderson News LLC, and how did Cornerstone Research?
