The Seattle P-I will live to publish another paper, and staff has been told that today's paper won't be their last, The Associated Press reported today.
Hearst Corp., the owner of the paper, has publicly been looking for buyers and announced that if no interested party is found in the next 60 days, the paper will be forced to shut down or continue as a Web-only edition.
Hearst has offered positions with the online edition to some staffers, but the majority of the P-I employees are expected to lose their jobs, according to the AP article, posted by Editor & Publisher.
