What style of writing are you using? APA? MLA? It could differ
depending on that as well. Please respond a researcher should be able

Hi kyraeh,

Here you go, straight from the source.

Times Online 
Online Style Guide - T
"<I>The Times</I>   almost always use italics for the name of the
newspaper, except in headlines. But Times Newspapers Ltd (roman),
publisher of <I>The Times</I> and <I>The Sunday Times</I>, is the
operating company of Times Newspapers Holdings.
In text, in the difficult area of correspondents' and executive
titles, it is permissible to say "the <I>Times</I> political
correspondent", "the <I>Times</I> wine correspondent" etc, although
"political editor of <I>The Times</I>", "wine correspondent of <I>The
Times</I>" etc are preferable. Also (in features headlines, etc) The
Times Gardener etc is an acceptable style to avoid a mass of italics
and apostrophes. Always say "Editor of <I>The Times</I>", "deputy
editor of <I>The Times</I>" etc.
It is permissible to say "a <I>Times</I> reader", "<I>Times</I>
readers", but prefer "readers of <I>The Times</I>". Similarly,
adjectival uses such as "a <I>Times</I> article", "a <I>Times</I>
offer" are acceptable. Keep phrases such as "told <I>The Times</I>" to
a minimum: said is usually preferable.
Also note <I>Times</I> Law Report (without The), but <I>The Times</I>
Crossword etc. Again, some flexibility - to avoid a proliferation of
italics - can be used in puff material etc.
For the London film festival, write in copy <I>The Times</I> bfi
London Film Festival. In puffs, use the logo device, where bfi is
italicised instead, thus: The Times <I>bfi</I> London Film Festival
For sections of the paper, avoid italics: eg, T2 (no longer Times 2),
<I>The Times</I> Magazine, the Weekend Review section, Money,
Body&Soul, Times Travel, The Eye, The Knowledge, Public Agenda,
Career, Crème, Law (supplement)..."

So, Probonopublico-ga is correct. You could say:
<I>The Times</I> published an article about him.
or
<I>The Times</I> (London) published an article about him.
or
<I>The Times</I> of London published an article about him.

<I>The Times</I>
"<I>The Times</I> is sometimes referred to by people outside the UK as
the London <I>Times</I> or <I>The Times</I> of London in order to
distinguish it from the many other <I>Times</I> papers such as <I>The
New York Times</I>. However, it is the original "Times" newspaper. It
is also the originator of the ubiquitous <I>Times New Roman</I> font
(and its variants) originally developed by the newspaper in
collaboration with the Linotype company."

Many thanks!

The correct title is just 'The Times' which can be italicised.

To distinguish this title from any other you need to add London
somewhere but it should not be incorporated in the title.

Maybe 'The Times' (of London) ...

Thank you for the tip,  kyraeh!  It was an interesting question. Sincerely, hummer
