Northern Ireland’s paper The Newry Reporter has been bought by News Letter owner National World plc.
The paper, which was founded in 1867, was to shut with the loss of 10 jobs after a final edition on Jan. 25.

“The Reporter has been maintained as a high-quality paper by its previous owner, Edward Hodgett Ltd, and has a strong and dedicated readership and audience through online subscription.
