It's 7 a.m.—Do you know who's watching your web site?

From the East Valley Tribune home page this a.m.:

Same thing happened yesterday.

From the comments:

From SOdhner:

Well, in both cases it looks like it’s trying to provide a main headline and then something for your specific part of the valley. That doesn’t change your point; obviously even with dynamic content (which is a good idea in a general sense) you should have something in place to avoid this.

The stranger part, to me, is that this story doesn’t seem like a Chandler-specific story anyway, and also the site believes I’m in Mesa which is incorrect. The IDEA is nice, the execution is bad.

From Tyler Hurst:

Didn’t know that the news took a holiday. Wouldn’t a group of people fighting for their jobs think twice about taking an unnecessary day off?

The paper is in a terrible situation; the parent company is in bankruptcy, the editor just quit, and a pending EVT sale could fall through at any moment. I feel, deeply, for the staffers there. Still, this is not the time not to be keeping an eye on your home page, and whoever is in charge of it should be being yelled at.
