How often do you see the time zone next to the date of an article on news sites?

Not every reader would know that The Telegraph is in England so GMT. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/mariasharapova/12186863/Maria-Sharapova-fails-drugs-test-at-Australian-Open-live.html
This article is from today Monday March 7/2016 but the date shows tomorrow’s date. At least a future date will make you think. But if it were the reverse, the information would be inaccurate, it wasn’t yesterday’s news it is today’s.

The story began on March 7. The time at the top (1:45 a.m. GMT) is the time of the latest update. But if you scroll down you will see earlier timestamps at each update.

I don’t know, but it seems like a good idea for an online news site. As the jelly above me pointed out, it says GMT time at the top.

The page I was looking at when I posted the OP showed the date at the top right and there was no GMT. Now the page is different the date is at the left side of video.
