HOW THIS DESK WORKS

This is an organisational byline, not a person pretending to be local. Pieces filed under it are drafted from a locked extract, edited and signed off by a named human editor. If we ever put a local correspondent on this beat, their real name will appear here — which is exactly why we did not invent one. Byline policy
