I'm sure Sherry or Brian will be able to give you a much more detailed explanation, but I believe that the location field should be for locations. I did put all sort of stuff into random fields in my early days, but found that it made things harder rather than easier. Untangling it was a pain.
If you put the newspaper name in the description, it will often include a location by default (New York Times or Sydney Morning Herald) and if it doesn't, I just add a bit in brackets - Daily Express (London) or The Times (London). You can then use the location for the place the event happened. e.g. [Ondate] [Desc] reported that [HeShe] had been killed in an industrial accident at [Place]. [Notes][Sources] Another approach would be to have a single event describing what happened and put each newspaper article as a separate source. There is a problem with newspaper reports in that you need two dates for the event sentence. One when the event happened and one when the article appeared. I have put in a request for a new way to create event sentences but I'm not holding my breath. I also put in a request for concatenatable events, so that two or more events appear in one paragraph, instead of on separate lines. I'm not holding my breath for that one either. Anyway, that's my two bob's worth. Maybe someone can give a more technical explanation of the use of Locations. Or maybe I'm too pedantic.
