mastheads

Publication credit sections

Mastheads are the tops of ship masts, or the section of a newspaper or magazine listing ownership, editors, and publication information—typically found on the editorial page or near the front.

The publishing sense extends from the newspaper's name and logo displayed prominently at the top of the front page, which originally appeared where a ship's flag would fly.
