Being hyper local how is any reader outside of Contra Costa supposed to know what state the county is in? Or even that it’s a county for that matter. It isn’t difficult to write the word California literally one time anywhere.

California.
It’s a hyper local Contra Costa county news site. I imagine the vast majority of their readers are not outside of the county or state.

Here is the first article for the local news in the Richmond, VA area currently. Notice that they start by listing the county as “Hanover County, VA”
It really isn’t that hard nor is it an inconvenience for the readers.
