Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under the byline “staff.” Often the byline “staff” is used when rewriting basic news briefs that come from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and require little or no reporting. Sometimes this byline is used when a news story contains multiple authors or when the story is formed by merging previously reported news from different sources. If outside sources are used, this will be noted in the story.

Hello, I’m the Brainerd dispatcher. I started work a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily newspaper two years later. I’ve seen many changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to the community and to local journalism. I have a whole team of dedicated people working day and night to make sure I get out and about every morning, whether it’s in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com . News, weather, sports – videos, photos, podcasts and social media – all with stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It’s all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And without support we couldn’t do it.
