Pet Peeve: Where is the Map?

On Monday, October 22, 2007, Wall Street Journal had a special advertising page, "Investing in Japan" on page A 16. The subtitle was, "Country Offers Opportunities Beyond its Big Cities."

Actually, the page was pretty interesting, talking about the foreign direct investment (FDI) into Japan as a whole and then going into all of the less populated regions that they are trying to get money into. Since the whole premiseof the page was that people are not aware of these places, I am amazed that this advertising page was not accompanied by a map.

This lack is rather common, especially in news articles about obscure countries.
