MastheadA masthead, ususally found on the editorial page of a newspaper, most often lists the members of the newspaper's editorial board. If no editorial board exists, the masthead will often feature a list of top news staff members. Some mastheads also include information such as the publication's founding date, slogan, logo and contact information. Most people incorrectly refer to the logo on the front page of the newspaper as a "masthead" when it is actually called the nameplate Online publications often have what could be considered mastheads on the "about us" or "contact us" pages. However, some online publications still call such pages its "masthead," probably a homage to the newspaper industry.
