The storm that built up on the blogosphere and Twitter in the last 24 hours about online BNP ads taken by some Newsquest newspapers seems to have made the company have a rethink, although it is not saying so publicly.
But banner online ads declaring "British jobs for British workers" that were there yesterday have disappeared from the top of the home pages of the Bromsgrove Advertiser, Dudley News and Stourbridge News.
It makes me think that local Newsquest managers, who are under huge pressure because of falling ad revenues, underestimated the power of the web. They didn't realise that those who keep an eye on the BNP can link to their sites and quickly organise a protest across the net before the story has even reached the mainstream media.
They know now.
