This a headline from the NZ Herald.

 

I sometimes see a question mark (?) instead of quote marks or an apostrophe (').

 

Other headlines seem OK.

Typically it's because they copy and pasted from Word or something with so-called "smart quotes" where the ASCII quote (") or apostrophe (') characters are swapped for Unicode slanted characters, and their content management system does not support Unicode.
