State your hypothesis, tying your project back to the impact it might have.

Photojournalists should get the same credit as our reporters. Viewers looking for more photos from a specific journalist should be able to click the byline and see the photojournalist's author page. We recently hired two full-time photojournalists, and I have spoken to them, and they want that credit for their work, like we provide for our writers.

What problem are we trying to solve for our communities with this experiment? How might it help us better serve them?

It would be nice if the photographer bylines were linked to bio pages in the same way author bylines are. For example, on this great story from today, Natalie's byline is clickable and leads to her author page, but Eli's is not.

Lay out the potential project steps to the best of your ability, including key teams that would need to be consulted. This is your best knowledge of the systems, tools and lift that would be required.

I am unaware of how difficult this would be to execute. Even if photojournalist author pages were linked, do stories with their photos automatically link to their author pages? These pages are made with authors in mind, not photojournalists.

    This is the same need for the cinematographer/editors in Visuals.
