Me:

It sounds like you're assuming that Dumbledore is reading the London 
Times, or the Sun, or some other major British newspaper... who's to 
say there's not some local paper for the area surrounding the Riddle 
House (sorry, don't have my books with me to get the name of the 
town).  Surely Dumbledore, who knows that Voldemort was once called 
Tom Riddle, would be interested in anything unusual in that 
surrounding area.
