datelined

Tagged with origin

Datelined is the past tense and past participle of dateline, meaning to furnish with a dateline—the line at the beginning of a news story or dispatch that indicates where and when it was written.

The article was datelined Moscow, suggesting the reporter was on the ground.

A story datelined from a particular city carries the implication that the journalist gathered information there firsthand, though this convention is sometimes bent.
