There was a time, well over 20 years ago, when Folk Roots focussed a lot more on British music and the British folk scene, but it seemed quite suddenly to switch to world music. In fairness, I don't think it was jumping onto a bandwagon, rather it reflected the genuine interests of its editor. However in doing so it lost a lot of its readership, me included. But that was a long time ago and it seems a bit pointless to be still going on about it. fRoots is what it is, and for the most part it does that bloody well.
