These WSJ Reporters Hold Claim to the Paper’s Prime Real Estate (March 2007)

More than 900 total bylines appeared on the front page of the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal in the six-month period ending March 31, 2007.

Page One of the Journal remains one of the most influential corners of news real estate in the business and financial journalism profession.

Of those whose bylines graced the Journal’s front page, just eight reporters can boast that they wrote or contributed to ten or more page one articles.

How did the reporter covering your company or clients stack up against his or her colleagues for number and quality of bylines?

Washington D.C.-based Jackie Calmes, a Journal veteran who writes on the intersection of politics and economics, led her colleagues not in shear number of Page One bylines but in terms of their NewsBios’ weighted value.

(Since October 1, 2006, NewsBios has tracked each and every reporter whose byline appears in The Wall Street Journal – including reporters for sibling news organizations such as MarketWatch and Dow Jones News Service. The NewsBios databases note each reporter’s total byline count, location of bylines, and “byline points” based upon a proprietary weighting system to separate ordinary bylines from high-visibility bylines.)

Calmes posted five solo Page One stories and five additional co-written pieces. Her efforts just edged out colleague Mark Whitehouse, who had the same number of solo front page articles but fewer shared bylines.

While comparing bylines isn't the only measure of influence for reporters at a news organization, it is an important component. Editors at most major news organizations keep track of similar byline statistics, which can be used in job performance reviews and determining beat assignments.

Other Journal reporters accruing double-digit bylines or contributions between October 1 and March 31 were Yochi J. Dreazen, Greg Jaffe, Charles Forelle, Guy Chazan, Greg Ip and Dennis K. Berman.
