Sickko Question for you

[Assasin]

When is it the paper like yours use the title Observer report as oppose to putting the writer's name?



It annoy me in so many cases to see Observer reporter or Gleaner reporter without a name. How credible is that?

Company policy. Every newspaper has the right to publish or not publish the names of people who write stories. I am sure if you pick up any newspaper where you are, not every single story has a by-line or credit line to it.



The editor/publisher has this right.



Some newspaper like the New York Times has a policy of crediting every story, well at least the last time I checked anyways. Again this is a compnay policy.



I have addressed this issue on the forum before.

Big Balla, I also think that an article not having a Reporter's name should say why news wire they got the story, otherwise there is a credibilty issue there.:hehe:

Excellent point Assasin.

I have stopped reading the Observer. It's like the Star. <U>It's a tabloid</U>.

The Gleaner is not much better.
