At the bottom of the article is a short bio of the guy. A bit further down is a proper "About the author" box with a picture and his Twitter handle.

- tantalor 14y agoYes, that's fine, but it doesn't replace a byline, which is before the article.
- hej 14y agoConventions. How do they work? There is no one right way of doing this. I just went to my magazine shelf and grabbed as many different magazines as I could. Der Spiegel(1) (Germany’s most widely read news magazine) nearly always puts authors’ names at the end of articles. brand eins (2, a German business magazine) puts the names of authors, illustrators and photographers right at the start of articles. 11Freunde (3, a German magazine about soccer culture) also puts authors’ names right at the start, as does Slanted (4, a typography magazine) and the German Wired (5). So bylines are pretty common, but not everyone uses them. Putting names at the end of articles seems perfectly acceptable, also. — (1) http://www.spiegel.de http://www.spiegel.de (2) http://www.brandeins.de http://www.brandeins.de (3) http://www.11freunde.de http://www.11freunde.de (4) http://www.slanted.de http://www.slanted.de (5) http://www.wired.de http://www.wired.de
