Jupitermedia has confirmed reports that it has been talking to Getty Images regarding the sale of its online images properties, reports PaidContent.

The cash sale would be valued at $9.60 per share of Jupitermedia. The company is also looking to sell its media division in a seperate transaction, and the eventual sale of the online images unit is dependent on first unloading the media division.

It's possible that if no other interested party step in for that sale Getty could make a bid for the media division as well.
