Illegals? H1B?
4 taken to UW Hospital. Shooter in custody.
Would it not be easier for all to simply put in in the body or title?☺
Yes, one can cipher out the location, and in this case it’s not too difficult to do so. But it still baffles me that in The Year of Our Lord 2018, near the end of the second decade of the 21st century and a generation after Al Gore invented the internet, that so many publications do not identify their location with a banner or informational box on every story and webpage. A lot of the print media, even publications that are oriented to an online presence, make themselves unnecessarily obscure. If they’re that stupid, they deserve to die.
I now know what “intellectual laziness” is. And reading comprehension.
Shooter down.
She said she quick posted it because she was on the fly doing something.
Missed that too I guess.
What the heck? I mean, it’s in large print at the bottom of the article. If you read the article, you would see the byline...
Uh, as I pointed out to the other poster, if you had read the article, you would have seen the author’s info right there. The only way one could avoid knowing that this was from Madison, WI would be if one didn’t read the article at all.
I didn’t miss it. I was referring to the article and or title. Not comments below that I never read. In any event, this looks like this story is all over but the investigation!
That’s all folks!
Situation contained, 3 taken away in ambulances. Paradigm Software attacked - Milwaukee Sentinel and their twitter.
"...Madison..."
US:Wisconsin has been in the “topics” just below the article since it was posted. It’s an FR thing.
Didn't mention what state they're in huh?
Yes, I read the article and in this case I was able to see where it was from. But that’s not always the case. My point is that in the age of the internet, basic identifying information should be right up front on every page, and especially on the first page. My other pet peeve is that articles are often undated. Stuff lives forever on the internet, and ancient information keeps surfacing without any clue as to when it was last updated. There are some simple disciplines that writers, editors and publications should adopt for online purposes.
(.....speaking as a newspaper Brenda Starr who labored back in the dinosaurian days of trained, fair journalism).

Yeah. Whatever.
I still don’t get what you’re carping about! It has the date and source immediately under the title:
“Update: Gunman in Middleton workplace shooting is dead; three injured, one critically
BILL NOVAK, BARRY ADAMS and DEAN MOSIMAN Wisconsin State Journal 48 min ago”
I mean, you can’t even read the title on this article without seeing that it’s from the Wisconsin State Journal, and from today.
No doubt the way the Kavanaugh accuser is being treated set the perp into an outraged shooting frenzy.
