It is incredible to me that in 2022 media refuse to do their readers the courtesy of providing this information.
The mindset is still paper, not digital.

@talopine But I don't think it does defeat the purpose: it enhances it. But you're right, that is the mindset: they are worrying about people leaving their site. It is a self-defeating logic imho. If you provide people with information and resources, they are more likely to consult you.
