They're two totally different things, and I don't think this one is Amazon's fault.

For me anyway, "calibre" is listed as the "author" of the periodical when it's sent by email; whereas the publication date is listed as the "author" of the periodical when it's uploaded via USB. But for books sent by Calibre over email, the author is the actual author (as opposed to "calibre").

So we should be asking Calibre to fix its metadata settings for emailed news periodicals... but in the meantime, we can play with the plugboards (I think) so we don't have 10 copies of the "New York Times" without knowing which is which...
