The US News Media in Global Context
Sometimes it's not so easy to tell where a news article was produced

For example, websites can be tricky. Often you can’t immediately tell where, or by whom, a website is published. Try surfing around the site to get more information. A good place to start is by going to the home page—there may be a link from there that says something like “About Us.”

Tip: If you found an article in a library database, but the record gives no indication of the place of publication, you can use Google to see if there is a website for that newspaper and follow the above instructions to try and get place-of-publication information.

About Us link

If you click on this link, you will find that this website originates in Seoul, South Korea. You can even read about its corporate principles, which influence how it reports the news.

Note: Often the "about us" link is very small and at the bottom or on the side of the home page.
