I have a project which asks me to write a newspaper article and I'm kind of confused about where the byline goes. The directions say that the byline appears "under the headline." I've never seen a byline go directly under a headline and that is probably not what they mean. Is it supposed to go on the left at the next line?

Answer 1

Check these images.

Answer 2

Okay, so it goes on the left side in the next line? The thing is that I am doing this in Microsoft Word, so I put the headline in the center. When I put the byline, it will be on the left side of the document, so it will not be directly under the title, as shown in the images. Is this fine?

Answer 3

That comes down to the style used by the publication.
