How bylines work
A desk byline, such as “Comal.News Government Desk,” names a beat of the newsroom, not a person. Comal.News practices AI-enhanced journalism: AI assists with reading, drafting, and verification, and every draft is checked against the original documents and our editorial rules before it publishes. Every published claim links back to its source.
