Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under the Staff headline. Often the title “staff” is used when paraphrasing basic short messages that come from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. Sometimes this byline is used when a news story includes many authors or when the story is created by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, this will be noted in the story.
