Why is it so flippin’ hard to find the street addresses of newspaper buildings on newspaper web sites?
By William M. Hartnett on Feb 17, 2008 in newspapers, whinging
Granted, the difficulty I have finding street addresses of newspaper buildings while working on Paper View Monday updates doesn’t exactly top the list of life’s great injustices. It is, however, incredibly annoying in a low-grade way that, like so many things I complain about in this space, is almost certainly unique to me. Nearly every newspaper site I visit seems to protect the physical location of its office with the sort of paranoid zeal more commonly associated with Dick Cheney’s undisclosed location. Seriously, people, we’re in the communications business. Let’s stop hiding from our readers.
