Please note:

We are independent of the newspapers and have no responsibility for the content of any newspaper. If you have something you want to raise with a particular newspaper, for instance:

• you wish to complain about something you’ve seen misreported
• you want a back copy of a story or a photograph
• you want to subscribe or have had problems with a subscription
• you’ve had trouble with a newspaper ad you’ve placed
• you want to apply for a paper round or a job with a newspaper

then you should raise it direct with the newspaper concerned. The contact details are generally on the newspaper’s website (and you should be able to find a link to their website on the appropriate page of our website). Sorry, we don’t have the resources to reply to messages on these subjects.

– Likewise, we don’t publish news stories ourselves; so no press releases, please!

– This site is only about British newspapers. Sorry, but we can’t answer questions about anything else, whether it’s tracing a deceased relative, finding photographs from the area you grew up in, or any other enquiry that’s not specifically about British newspapers and/or this site. If you’re researching your family past, you’ll find several resources listed at our sister site: 101 Genealogy.

– We don’t keep archives of newspapers. If you want to research an old story, then you should contact the newspaper direct or visit a reference library for the area – either of these two sources are likely to have microfiche archives available.
