The Denver Post: Last month, The Denver Post published a guest commentary from the mayor of Pueblo imploring lawmakers to kill two bills working their way through the Colorado General Assembly. She said they were “threatening to the future” of Pueblo and Southern Colorado.

Regrettably, Mayor Heather Graham did not write those words, or any of the words in the opinion column, although she told reporters that she read the writing and agreed to put her name on the work.

I want to take this opportunity to clarify that The Denver Post expects the byline on anything we publish, whether that is a news story or a column, to reflect who actually wrote the piece.  Certainly, there is room for collaboration on opinion columns – including dual bylines and seeking input from colleagues and media relations experts.
