Play Along At Home: Where Is This Newspaper Website From?
from the the-web-is-global,-remember dept
Earlier this year we wrote about newspapers that put up websites that don't indicate the location they're based in. Thanks to various news search engines, it's increasingly common that you may end up on the website of a "local" newspaper that is anything but local to you -- but where you have no clue what "local" is. Even worse, they often include generic descriptions of places ("the valley," "the river," "the north side") which mean absolutely nothing to you. E-Media Tidbits is griping about another such site where even the webcam shot of "downtown" showing the local weather is perfectly ambiguous. So, we'll let everyone play along at home: just how many clicks does it take you to figure out what's "local" for The Truth Online.

who, what, when, why and _WHERE_
Without KNOWING all five of those "W's", the news is quite useless.
Thanks Mike, I was wondering when someone would say something about this -- its a problem that I find all too often on the internet. A long news story may take me a few minutes to read through, and without all of the [W's] information, I feel as though I had just wasted my time.

How Many Clicks?
It only took me 3 clicks to find Elkhart Indiana, I found it after looking for the "about" and then finding the "delivery" information link. They might get more subscribers if their readers could find out how to get the news delivered. Go figure!
