At the end of talks concluding Friday evening, it was agreed that the title should become a co-operative.
Publisher Kevin McGrath has offered to take on historical debts and release the title “debt free” and told the meeting that he would do everything possible to help the success of the transfer to a co-operative.
Terms are to be drafted in time for a full meeting of the Tribune staff, which has to approve the deal, on Monday.
