Author Pages and Bylines
Where applicable, an article byline should link to a profile that identifies:
- the author’s confirmed role;
- coverage areas;
- relevant practical experience;
- confirmed education or employment, if included;
- published NGB articles;
- material disclosures where relevant.
Author pages help readers understand who is responsible for an article and why that person is covering the subject.
Author pages should not include unverified credentials, years of experience, professional memberships, awards, employers or social profiles.
Editorial Responsibility
Bylines identify the person responsible for an article where applicable. Editorial leadership remains responsible for publication standards, corrections and commercial separation.
Not every article is necessarily reviewed by multiple editors. The level of editorial review depends on the article’s type, complexity, urgency and sensitivity.
A byline does not remove the publication’s responsibility to correct factual errors or maintain consistent standards across different contributors.
Contributors and Specialists
NGB may work with additional contributors, specialists or knowledgeable sources when a subject requires relevant experience or context.
Any future contributor should be added to this page only after the person’s role and public information have been confirmed.
Providing a quotation, interview or technical comment does not automatically make a source a member of the editorial team.
