SYDNEY (AP) — Australia’s national news agency will continue with new owners, the board confirmed Friday, just weeks before it was due to be shut down. But the agency will be slimmed down, with only about half the former number of staff.
The Australian Associated Press board said an agreement with a consortium of investors and philanthropists led by Peter Tonagh is in the final stages of negotiation. The agreement covers AAP’s news division but not other parts of the group.
The newswire was due to close in late June. It will now continue operating as AAP and provide breaking news, public interest journalism, sports coverage and news photography.
