A newspaper or magazine article that includes a byline, which is a line crediting the author's name, showing who wrote the piece.
Past participle of 'byline,' which combines 'by' (indicating authorship) and 'line' (a line of text), creating the specific line at the top or bottom of articles identifying the writer. This became standard newspaper practice in the 20th century.
The byline is actually a relatively recent invention—most newspaper articles a century ago were completely anonymous, so the practice of crediting individual writers gave journalists real names and reputations, which is why today's bylined articles feel like they come from actual people rather than mysterious institutions.
