Seattle P-I up for sale
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the state's longest publishing newspaper, has been put up for sale. Steve Swartz, president of Hearst Newspaper Division, told the newsroom that Hearst Corp. is starting a 60-day process to find a buyer. If a buyer is not found, possible options include creating an all digital operation and shutting down.
