Chicago Style (Notes and Bibliography) - Bibliography Entries for Unsigned Newspaper Articles

"Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (full note)" produces bibliography entries for unsigned newspaper articles with two quirks:

1 - The entries include a comma following the title of the article (i.e., the entry reads: Newspaper Name. “Article Title,” Date.) CMoS 14.199 calls for a period instead of a comma.

2 - If the bibliography includes multiple articles from a single newspaper, the name of the newspaper is included for each. CMoS 14.68 calls for a 3-em dash instead of repeating the name.

I realize this will affect a very small number of writers (those using unsigned newspaper articles AND required to include those in a bibliography) but wanted to flag it for any future revisions to the code for "Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (full note)"
