byline
Name above article
A byline is the line at the beginning of a newspaper or magazine article that names the author: The story carried her byline.

In journalism, bylines are markers of professional recognition—writers work toward getting bylined pieces.
The verb means to credit: The article was bylined to a staff reporter.
