What's that silly aphorism? 99% of stuff on the internet is crap?
It's mostly done badly, but most things are mostly done badly by most people that do them. In our case, we actually encourage people to do it badly as we don't put any encouragement into thinking about the impact of it overall.
But most news websites these days will, having studied and paid a lot to make sure they get all the clickthroughs they can, have their titles set to display "NEws Item Title | News Section | Sitename", and they do that for a reason. The exceptions tend to be either lower down the market not thought through sites, and the really big brands; the BBC deliberately puts "BBC News" first in all its titles, as they know that that's such a trusted brand it'll increase clickthroughs.
(and if I was organised enough I would be making a serious living getting people to do this right, I'm a flake, and am terrible at being self employed, so I don't, but I do follow the industry discussions on it when I can, it really interests me, my coding isn't up to much, my visual design skills are non-existent, got to be good at something, right?)
