Virtual Upstate has two regular bylines, each attached to a clear group of desks rather than a fabricated newsroom. June Hartwell edits the water and town coverage; Peter Ranney handles woods, wildlife and seasonal movement. Their names link to the work, the methods behind it and a direct route for corrections.

Each profile lists the desks covered, the latest pieces and the route for corrections or questions. For the standards behind both bylines, start with editorial policy; for general correspondence, use the contact desk.

The bylines are part of the site's navigation, not a claim of a larger staff. That smallness is useful: readers can tell who is responsible for a piece, where its subject belongs and how to raise a correction.
