The Tucson Citizen is up for sale, and its owner, the Gannett Co., says it will shut the newspaper down if a buyer isn't found within two months. If the Citizen is put to bed permanently Tucson will have just one daily newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star, and that publication has financial problems of its own, Inside Tucson Business reported Saturday. Gannett said it would close the 138-year-old Citizen if no buyer is found by March 21.

Ben Affleck is in talks to direct a film about Arizona Republic journalist Don Bolles who was slain in 1976 while working on a story about political corruption. The Longest Yard scribe Sheldon Turner penned the screenplay for the as-yet-untitled film, which would serve as a follow-up to Affleck's celebrated directorial debut Gone Baby Gone, The Hollywood Reporter said. Bolles died 11 days after his car was blown up when he was invited to meet a source who didn't show up as planned at a Phoenix hotel.
