This is how my source does it. I cut and pasted from the
source. Clearly, they feel the need to be precise not for
instances like this, but for examples that are less obvious.
(How many newspapers are called, simply, The Telegraph, for
example. I can think of two.)
I believe they provide the location (state, city, whatever)
for all, whether it's obvious or not.

Well, when *I* do it ... I do it for any international readers who might not
be as familiar with American cities as, you know, Americans are ...

Just off the top ... London, Belfast, Australian, Calcutta and at least one
in Georgia. Because of the way breaking news traveled in the 19th Century
there is probably a few "Telegraphs" in every state in America. Same for
"Dispatch."

Yeah ... I guess they figure that not every one is as smart as I am ...
