0:55Now PlayingThe Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will be able to continue publishing after a nonprofit journalism group stepped in to buy the newspaper.
The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism on Tuesday said it will buy the paper and run it as a nonprofit.
The Post-Gazette was due to shut down in May after more than two centuries in business. Its closure would have made Pittsburgh one of the largest metropolitan areas without a major newspaper.
The deal marks a rare bit of good news for an industry that's been marked by consolidation and closures. Financial terms of the agreement were not made public.
