Our newsroom sometimes reports stories under a “staff” byline. Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news stories that come from official sources, such as a city press release regarding a road closure, and that require little or no reporting. Sometimes this byline is used when a news story includes multiple authors or when the story is formed by combining previously reported news from multiple sources. If outside sources are used, this is noted within the story.
