Papers and the BNP

Earlier today journalism.co.uk highlighted that some regional press are now accepting advertising from the fascist BNP. It seems just to be Newsquest's online titles, but as Jon Slattery points out, given they have bans on adult sex advertising, you'd think they'd take a moral stand on this!

So earlier on I suggested a boycott of Newsquest titles... if people threaten to boycott all their titles maybe the management will take notice.

Shame I don't have any control over ad budgets, but it will be interesting to see if brands look to pull other advertising like they did to Facebook a few months ago.
