Instead, as a term of the deal, the out­let will pick a new name, reports [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/06/18/notus-wont-become-star-following-settlement-with-washington-star/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com). The Wash­ing­ton Star sued NOTUS, states The Post, “after it announced it would change its name to the Star and, earlier this month, a fed­eral judge blocked NOTUS from assum­ing its new moniker, find­ing it was too sim­ilar to that of the Wash­ing­ton Star.” “Both parties have amic­ably resolved the mat­ter,” a NOTUS spokes­per­son wrote in a state­ment “We con­tinue to work toward a new name.” The Wash­ing­ton Star vol­un­tar­ily dis­missed its law­suit. The terms of the set­tle­ment were not imme­di­ately clear bey­ond the decision for NOTUS to aban­don its pur­suit of renam­ing itself the Star. More on the story here:
