eriktorbjorn: I got a reply back indicating that they "will add this content to the game's bonus downloads soon". So at least for the moment it looks like I won't have to scan mine.

SpiRec: Then it would be nice if they also make a scan of "The Mystery Examiner" of part 2 of "Alone In The Dark". See my thread "Cropped 'The Mystery Examiner'". (But scanning these large newspapers with an ordinary A4 scanner is definitely complicated.)
That should be fixed. Redownload your Mystery Examiner for AITD 2 and let me know what you think :)

Banjo_oz: Great to hear that this will finally be made available online... a huge thanks to all who share these gems of gaming history (and often wrestle with scanner annoyances to do so). Such creative little bits and pieces deserve to be preserved, not forgotten.

Great news about the AITD2 paper too... there are a few "extras" on GOG that are sadly missing or incomplete so I'm thrilled to hear of the update (for example, most of the Sierra games have pages missing from their manual scans, for example... fortunately, there are well-preserved elsewhere online).
UK voice version is up, btw :)

Banjo_oz: Obviously, the next question is... would you be able to scan your copy of the newspaper? :) I don't think it's ever been scanned online (certainly not at ReplacementDocs) and I hate the thought that any of these great "bits and pieces" of game fiction get lost in time without preservation!

eriktorbjorn: I don't know for sure. I might be able to, but I wouldn't feel comfortable distributing it since I don't hold any rights to it. If someone from GOG were to say, "Why, yes, we do have the right to distribute it, we just haven't been able to find any copy of it," that would be a different matter of course. But I don't even know if that sort of thing ever happens.
We probably do have the rights to distribute the newspaper but, alas, we don't have it ourselves :/

eriktorbjorn: Sorry about the delay. I was out of town. The scanner at work wasn't quite as cooperative as I had hoped, but I did manage to get what I hope is a good enough scan of the newspaper. (The poster is too unwieldy for me to scan, so I don't know what to do about that. It's not quite as interesting though, since it's basically the cover art with a lot of creases because they had to fold it up.) Now how do I get it into your hands?

I'm not sure what plan B, C or D is if that's not enough. Plan E would be sending the items to GOG for scanning, and hope they returned it, I guess, but I hope it won't have to come to that. :)
Upload it to Dropbox or something similar and PM me the link :) Thank you for taking the time to do this :)
Newspaper added :) Thansk eriktorbjorn :)
