NEW YORK A small number of online publishers have stopped running paid ads on certain sections of their sites as they react to consumers’ sensitivity to the onset of war with Iraq.

AOL Time Warner lifted advertising starting Thursday at midnight from AOL’s welcome screen and news pages, as well as from CNN.com and Time.com, a representative from the New York-based media giant said.

“In light of the current events, it seemed appropriate to suspend advertising for a period of time,” the representative said, adding that the ad suspension will last for 48 hours.
