Local Gazette US Newsroom

This desk byline is used when a report is prepared through the publication's shared newsroom process rather than the individual newsgathering of one named reporter.

How desk reports are made

• Potential stories are found through primary records, official notices, direct submissions and newsroom tips.
• The desk checks dates, place, key claims and the underlying evidence before publication.
• Reports are written in original language and visibly identify the sources readers can inspect.
• Technology can assist discovery, transcription, organization and drafting, but it cannot approve or publish a report.
• We do not invent staff identities or present software as a local reporter.
• A human editorial review is required before publication.
