Who writes the news articles in The Bee?
Local news stories are reported, written and edited by The Fresno Bee’s news staff. These include reports on crime, schools and government that usually appear in the main news section of the print edition or in the local section of fresnobee.com. These also include many of the stories that appear in The Bee’s Business, Sports and Life sections in print and online. Stories written by Bee reporters are identified with “The Fresno Bee” under the writer’s name, or byline, at the top of each story. The Bee also publishes stories about state, national and world news, including sports and features stories, produced or distributed by news (or “wire”) services. These stories come from news organizations such as The Associated Press, the New York Times and The Bee’s corporate parent, The McClatchy Co. Editors in Fresno often shorten, rearrange or insert locally-written material into these stories. The source of each wire story is noted under the writer’s byline.
