   By that time it would be easy to send copies of local newspapers to the   
   UK and I believe that there are (or were) agencies passing on content to   
   customers.  They can forward photocopies, FAX pcopies or EMail scans of   
   articles to relevant local newspapers in the UK.  That would be more   
   difficult in the 19th Century.
