The Tucson Citizen will publish at least through March 27, Tucson Newspapers announced late Friday.
The notice was given through a memo from Mike Jameson, president and chief executive of Tucson Newspapers, as required by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
WARN requires employers to give 60 days’ advance notice to employees in the case of mass layoffs or plant closures.
“The sale or closure will not occur before March 27, 2009,” the memo read. “We expect to have more certainty in the very short term, and when we do we will let you know.”
Gannett Co. Inc. announced Tuesday that the Citizen, which was originally set to close Saturday, would remain open on a day-to-day basis during negotiations with potential buyers.
