At Many Men Magazine, transparency and accountability are central to our publishing practices. We are committed to properly crediting our contributors while fostering trust with our audience. This policy outlines the use of bylines when exceptions apply and the standards we uphold for all published content.
Byline Policy
- Author Attribution
- All articles include a byline to credit the author(s) or contributor(s), along with contact information when appropriate. This ensures that readers know who to reach out to for corrections or clarifications feedback.
- Team Contributions
- For collaborative work, bylines may state, “Written by the Many Men Magazine Team.” Individual contributors can also be recognized in a credits section or within the article.
- Guest Contributors
- Guest articles should contain the contributor’s name, a brief bio, and optional links to their portfolio, social media, or professional website, pending editorial approval.
- Sponsored Content
- Content produced with advertisers or sponsors is clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Partnered Content” to ensure transparency. Bylines appropriately reflect this collaboration when necessary.
- Editorial Oversight
- All content undergoes thorough editorial review for accuracy, quality, and consistency. Although bylines indicate the primary author(s), each piece embodies the magazine’s editorial standards.
- Corrections and Updates
- If an article is updated or corrected, the byline remains the same; however, the content will clearly acknowledge the changes.
- Anonymity
- Occasionally, contributors may request anonymity for valid reasons, such as safety or privacy concerns. The editorial team carefully evaluates these requests.
When Bylines Are Not Used
Many Men Magazine may decide not to include bylines for specific content under certain circumstances. These cases include:
- Collaborative Content
- When an article results from a collective effort, no individual byline is included to highlight the quality and credibility of the content as a product of the team.
- Editorial Pieces
- Staff-written editorials and opinion pieces that represent the views of our editorial management team remain unsigned. These pieces reflect a collective perspective on essential topics, such as climate change and mental health, rather than the opinions of individual contributors.
- Magazine Attribution
- Articles like “By Many Men Magazine” may feature a general byline when individual authorship cannot be determined (e.g., due to a missing user account).
- Regardless of the presence of a byline, readers can trust that all content adheres to the same rigorous standards of fact-checking, accuracy, and editorial oversight.

Transparency and reader trust are essential to our mission. We invite readers to provide feedback or voice any concerns regarding our content. If you have questions about articles without bylines or wish to report an error, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at contact@manymenmagazine.com.
