Our newsroom occasionally publishes stories under “staff.” Most often, the signature “staff” is used when rewriting basic news summaries from official sources, such as a city press release about road closures, that require little or no reporting. Sometimes this signature is used when there are many authors in a news story or when the news is created by bringing together previously reported news from various sources. If external sources are used, it is stated in the story.
