[Durham INC] Does anyone know who writes for the Durham Dispatch?

[SZ Rosenthal]

Ziyad Habash, who is a friend of mine, is the fellow behind the Durham Dispatch. It is a relatively new site, and he is finding his way. I’m sure he would be interested in your feedback. It is NOT an AI-driven site. Ziyad may not agree with everything that he posts on the Dispatch, however, he is seeking to bring in a wide variety of voices. Where there is no by-line, I would guess that those are articles that he himself writes. He sometimes sends me drafts for comment of his own articles, which I generally find to be well-researched and thoughtful.

The 'filters' applied to pictures for many of the articles seem weird, too. I can only speculate at this point as my cursory searches for details yield only more questions. So far, though, I'm getting a very strong whiff of AI from this Durham Dispatch operation.

All I'm seeing are links to the original work which, from the ones I have checked, are just press releases from political activist groups or NGOs. No author names are mentioned that I can see. Nothing wrong with that but I would just like to see who is behind it, like the names on the masthead or a real byline. Maybe I'm just overlooking it...
