US internet firm AOL has agreed to a buyout of the Huffington Post online newspaper.
The $315m (£222m) deal will create an internet media group with 270 million users, including 117 million in the US.
The purchase price – $300m of which will be in cash – will be paid to co-founders Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer and a few minority shareholders.
