bylines

A byline is the line of text in a newspaper, magazine, or online article that names the author or journalist who wrote it. It typically appears near the top or beginning of the piece and helps readers identify who created the content. Bylines often include the writer’s name and sometimes their title or affiliation. They serve to give credit to the author and establish accountability, as well as provide context regarding the perspective or expertise behind the information. Essentially, a byline is the author's identification, signifying their role in producing the article.
