   That's correct, yes.

   I, the newspaper in question, its editor and I suspect the vast majority   
   of its contributors are all in England.  The scanning organisation is   
   actually in Wales, but England and Wales are generally treated as a   
   single legal jurisdiction.

   Mostly because I'm not yet sure.  The newspaper in question contains   
   essentially no genealogical content, though may be of interest to local   
   historians.  My interest in it is because my great great grandfather was   
   a frequent contributor towards the end of his life.
