Definition
Lines printed at the beginning of a newspaper or magazine article that show the writer's name and sometimes their title or location.
Etymology
From 'by' (indicating authorship) + 'line' (a row of text). This compound emerged in the late 19th century as journalism formalized attribution practices, combining the preposition 'by' with 'line' to indicate whose name appears on a piece.
Kelly Says
The byline wasn't always standard—in the 1800s, many newspaper writers went completely uncredited! The byline's rise marks a shift when journalism became a profession where writers could build reputations and readers wanted to know who they were trusting.
