Journalists at a newspaper in China embroiled in a censorship row are reportedly returning to work after an agreement was reached.
Staff at Southern Weekly had demanded that a provincial propaganda chief step down after a New Year message was changed.
Provincial Communist Party chief Hu Chunhua reportedly intervened to defuse the situation.
The BBC reports the row provoked reaction online, leading to protests outside the headquarters of Nanfang Media Group in Guangdong.
It began when a New Year message in the paper calling for guaranteed constitutional rights, was changed by censors prior to publication.
However, the BBC said a deal to end the dispute was agreed reportedly on Tuesday evening and Thursday's edition was to be published as normal
