I've noticed that the online versions of some newspapers, usually small-town ones, include nothing in either the address or the letterhead to indicate where they are. So if you come to an article in that paper from a search (like, say, Google News) then you have to dig around the site to try to find that rather important information that you'd *think* the publisher would want you to know. Or, more likely, just go "oh well, it's obviously not from around here" and not read it at all.
Sorry I don't have a handy example. But it's particularly galling when you find an article that appears to be about something that happened somewhere you're familiar with, then as you read it it makes less and less sense until you realize it's a different town or county, who knows where because they don't tell you, that just happens to have the same name.
Yes, I realize this post is vague. I'm sleepy and angry at the same time. Hopefully it makes enough sense.
