Feminist news site Jezebel, which was shut down earlier this month, has been sold to a new owner.
Paste Media, known for its music coverage, said it had taken on the brand and planned to relaunch soon.
It marks the latest revival for a site that started in 2007 as part of the Gawker empire and in the interim has had several owners.

At the time, chief executive Jim Spanfeller said the company had spoken to more than two dozen potential buyers without success but that he still hoped a deal could happen.
“We have been working on the sale of Jezebel for months and are delighted that the site has found a new home,” Mr Spanfeller said in a statement.
The demise of Jezebel after 16 years had drawn tributes and mourning from those who credited the blog with helping to develop the sharp, personal tone that came to characterise many new digital publications.
The New York Times first reported the sale.
Josh Jackson, the founding editor-in-chief of Paste and its president, told the newspaper that “the idea of there not being a Jezebel right now just didn’t seem to make sense”.
