Definition
A line printed at the beginning or end of an article that shows the author's name, usually in a newspaper or magazine.
Etymology
Compound of 'by' and 'line,' literally meaning a 'line identifying who wrote it.' Originated in journalism in the late 19th century as newspapers began crediting individual writers instead of publishing anonymously.
Kelly Says
Before bylines became standard, newspaper articles were often unsigned, and readers had no idea who was writing the news—the shift to bylines represented a major cultural moment when writers became individuals rather than just the voice of the publication.
