The Chicago Sun-Times and the parent company of public radio station WBEZ are considering a partnership that could form one of the biggest local nonprofit news organizations in the U.S., says the paper.
The arrangement would have the Sun-Times as a subsidiary of Chicago Public Media.
The target date to finish the merger is the end of this year, Chicago Public Media CEO Matt Moog said in an interview.
Moog also said there are no plans for job reduction.
A joint news release said support for the plan has come from Sun-Times investor Michael Sacks, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Pritzker Traubert Foundation.
Chicago media blogger Robert Feder first broke the story.
