Where’s where?

I know it was only your second issue, but what happened to the “five W’s of good reporting” (who, what, where, when, why) that are supposed to be part of each story?  In the story about the Carrboro moratorium, the “where” was left out, and it was the most important of all the W’s.  New publication or old, it’s the most basic tenant of reporting and the essential foundation for publishing a good newspaper.
