Judge averts closure of Conrad Black's Canadian newspaper

Canadia’s conservative National Post newspaper has been saved from closure after a judge agreed to move it to the solvent publishing division of the collapsed CanWest Media company.

The money-losing Post, which was founded in 1998 by now jailed businessman Conrad Black, would have been forced to close if the change hadn’t been approved because CanWest creditors were not prepared to keep funding it.
