Meet Byline. They're a new online and print publication founded by Gutes Guterman and Meg O'Sullivan, creating some of our favorite narrative content on the internet. You may have learned about the team at Byline when we partnered with them for their Hacking It issue in September, about the changing work landscape and navigating the new 9-5. If not, here's a bit more about them, in their own words:
Byline was born in June 2023 from an appreciation for niche observations, sartorial sagas, deep cuts and deep dives — the unbridled kind. We satiate the need for a centralized space in media that hosts creative expression. Writers contribute articles, monthly columns and special features centered around our issue themes (previous themes include World Wide Wonder, Buddy System, and Freaking Out). Our hope is to provide a home, a byline, for people to be themselves, to find friends, and to learn something completely new.
Gutes Guterman is media maven known for her unique and tapped in approach to storytelling. In 2020, she co-founded The Drunken Canal, a cult classic print-only publication. With a proven track record of generating buzz and creating cultural impact by focusing on niche and emerging ideas, she was named “One To Watch” by Bloomberg Business Week for her contributions to media. She has been profiled by the New York Times, Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, and more. Thinking of words as material and media as a medium, she is now the co-founder of Byline.

Chris Black got his start in the music business, managing a band and touring the globe. That’s where he found that, as Warhol once said, “good business is the best art.” Today he consults for the most sophisticated brands, writes for the best publications, and hosts How Long Gone with Jason Stewart: a bicoastal elite podcast of conversations with the most influential figures in American lifestyle. You’re living in a time of great cultural malleability—everything can happen. Chris can explain the world to you, and how to remake it.
