Masthead

A masthead is the official nameplate or title section of a publication, such as a newspaper or magazine, usually displayed prominently at the top of the front page or on the editorial page. It includes essential information like the publication's name, logo, date, and sometimes key staff members or contact details. Essentially, it serves as the publication's branding and identification, making it easy for readers to recognize and distinguish it from other media outlets. The masthead establishes credibility and provides important contextual information about the publication.
