wow! looks good to me!
how do i go about getting at it and the bold?
Thanks again.
I have scanned in a page as instructed but have no web server / site to post the scan to. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your response. I'm not hugely design savvy, though I do know a bit about computers and coding. For this I apologise - I may need you to walk me through it a bit.
Do you mean to say you can extract a font from the css? I am editing the document in illustrator, so this where I'll need to import it.
The font on the front website page looks passable, though I see what you mean about the serifs.
I will need a heading + body + the sans serif byline text.
This one here has a good summary of what I'm looking for:

Haha thank you, I am well familiar with times new roman and am using it as a substitute.
Times modern is not quite the same and was looking to make it look identical to the newsprint.
Hello!
I have been asked by my university to generate a mock journalistic piece in the style of the Times newspaper (London).
I am seeking a typeface to approximate it... having done some research I note that the current typeface is Times Modern, generated by Prowse & Brody in 2006.
Does anyone know of a similar one that can be bought / gained for free online?
I've also considered EF Times Modern, but it would appear this has been removed from market.
Thanks for your help!
