...and that's not always where you are.. Plus, they may be getting advertising revenue from a certain site, therefore they give you one that pays them better.. Yes, overall, the main stories are tailored to your area but after that, they choose based on a lot of different things, including your other preferences, PLUS their preferences.
Hope this helps.

Would anyone know why on yahoo.com the news stories show from a different location than where I am?
I made yahoo.com my home page. I live in Texas and my internet service provider is here in Texas (ATT)
When I open my browser, the home page is yahoo.com. But sometimes the news stories on the home page show to be from NY or California.
I mean not the top 5 or so stories, but the ones below that where they are "specialized" to one's location ( referencing local papers such as NY Post)
why would that be?
Is my browser hijacked? ( I dn't think so because I get no website redirects)
Could it be that sometimes the yahoo server sends me to the wrong location?
