I'm no longer a sub editor with a nickname, I'm a copy editor with a handle. Excellent.
I should add that the best way to find out whether 'the' (or rather, 'The') is part of the publication name is to look at the masthead.
And I don't know whether anyone reading this wants to sign up for Grammar Girl's tips (disclaimer: they do have a bias towards American English).
