The Roanoke Times is suing its former Hokies football reporter over Twitter handle
The lawsuit alleges that Bitter was requested to turn over control of his Twitter account for the next Roanoke Times Virginia Tech reporter to use, but he did not do so.
The lawsuit cites the precedent that Bitter had inherited the handle from the previous reporter, Kyle Tucker, and that Bitter signed acknowledgement of the company handbook which stated that the account was company property. At the time Tucker handed the account over to Bitter, the paper was a part of Landmark Media Enterprises. It was sold to BH Media in 2013.
