No-Byline Policy

Byline is the writer's name printed at the top of an article in a magazine or newspaper. The magazine where I work has the policy of not putting bylines in all of the articles. This is something the British magazine-like newspaper The Economist has been doing for a long time. It has been said that what is written is more important than who writes it. I beleive it's true. You can listen to an interview of Economist's science and technology editor Tom Standage. He talked about the no-byline policy. He's interesting.
