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.
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.
