If Google News revolutionized search results on the Internet for journalism, it left one vital fact out of the story, organization and abstract of the search --- who wrote it.
Now it has added reporter bylines to stories in the search result. The addition means it's now possible to set up feeds of particular reporter's work or an alert when someone publishes something.
It's a highly useful tool and will, I suspect, help develop traffic for individual journalists as they either work within an organization or as solo players.
