Etymology
The term 'datelined' originates from the combination of the word 'date' and the suffix '-lined', indicating a line that notes the date. In journalism, the practice evolved as a necessity to provide crucial information about the timing and location of a story. News articles have traditionally included this element to enhance the credibility and relevance of the content. The concept of adding dates to written records goes back centuries, but using a specific line in news writing emerged in the early 20th century with the growth of newspapers and the need for immediate news reporting. This practice has been standardized in most journalism conventions today.
