I see Brian has started [[Press releases/Public domain day]] on the WMUK wiki. So we can get into detail there. Yes, this might be an upmarket topic: it would be easy to email the London Review of Books, New Statesman, The Spectator. and I'll volunteer to do that once we're good to go. I wasn't so sure at first glance how to email the right person at The Economist, but well worth the effort (huge circulation). The Guardian seems to be shuffling things around and online.
