This is the most ridiculous debate I have ever seen on this site. Common practice in the newspaper business is to use as a dateline the place where the story is reported, not the place where it is written. This is done for several reasons, among them to help readers know where the reporter gathered facts. It probably happens hundreds of times each day that reporters write stories on planes, in newsrooms or in other places that do not match the dateline.
