Dorset County Chronicle
The Dorset coverage is very odd – the Sherborne Mercury is available for 1789-1867, but it’s subtitled the Western Flying Post and the Yeovil Mercury, and is clearly focused on northern Dorset and Somerset.
The newspaper produced in Dorset’s market town (Dorchester) was the Dorset County Chronicle, but there are ONLY five years’ worth (1863-67) of issues on the British Newspaper Archives site.
Dorchester was the legal, political, trade and administrative capital of the county and the Dorset County Chronicle would be the best newspaper for tracing the county’s history. The Chronicle was published from 1824.

Any Hawick paper
For a long time you had no papers published in the Scottish Borders. You've now added the Southern Reporter, thank you, but this provides very little coverage of news in Hawick, the region's largest town then. Please add one of the Hawick papers, like the Hawick News, to plug this gap. Thank you.
82 votesHi Vivienne,
Hopefully you will have seen that the Hawick News has been making it’s way on to the site as we digitise it. You can access it directly here: http://bit.ly/1DDUI2dBest wishes,

Hi Vivienne, Thank you for your feedback. We have investigated the possibility of inclusion. Good news – The Hawick News is within scope for inclusion as we have an agreement with the publisher. It was published from 1889.
We have added the following years to our Digitisation Plan: 1889-1951
Please be aware that until we have received the material into our studio and checked it, it is not possible to guarantee that it will be digitised.
Best wishes,
Team BNA

Devon Newspapers
You have some Devon papers, but currently your coverage is very patchy. I'm looking for a family in the first half of the C.20th in the Torbay area, but coming up empty. There are many, many Devon titles available, according to this link…

There is no online coverage of Brighton apart from the four years of the Brighton Patriot in the 1830s. The Keep has no intention of digitising any newspapers for the foreseeable future.
