Has Johnston Press Digital Publishing looked at itself in google news? 1

Posted on November 05, 2008 by Malcolm Coles

Fascinating news headlines: You need to have javascript enabled to view this ...

Following my recent post on the guardian and accessibility, I've discovered another newspaper group that seems to have given little thought to its reliance on javascript: Johnston Press Digital Publishing.

Check out how its pages appear in google news.

Surely you'd occasionally check how you appeared, and do something about this?

   Hi Malcolm
   Many thanks for raising what is an important issue and one that we are aware of and working on. However I need to put this in context as to the scale of the issue.
   - Number of JP stories indexed incorrectly in this way: 375
   - Number of JP stories indexed by Google News: well over 100k, 7k+ from Scotsman.com alone
