The Tucson Citizen could be bought

After reporting that Gannett’s Tucson Citizen would most likely close on March 21, the Associated Press has a story that says the paper will not close as scheduled due to continuing negotiations with two interested buyers.
A final commemorative issue that the Citizen planned to publish on Saturday is delayed and staff was informed that publishing would for now continue after the 21st.
From the story:

Robert J. Dickey, president of Gannett U.S. Community Publishing, said in a teleconference that the negotiations would not be completed by Saturday, according to Editor Jennifer Boice. Two months ago, Dickey had said March 21 would be the deadline for sale or closure of the Citizen, which began publishing in 1870 and is Arizona’s oldest newspaper.
