Local Gazette Austin 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.
We use only real named contributors or the shared newsroom byline described on this page.
An editor reviews each report before publication.

Editorial responsibility

Joseph Biz, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, has final responsibility for the standards applied to these reports.
