The [http://www.hawaiireporter.com/list.aspx?Outside+Hawaii ''Hawaii Reporter''].com web site shows the Talon News byline beginning September 12, 2003, following the absence of any [[media]] feed for the ''Hawaii Reporter'' during the month of August. Until that time, the predominant byline had been that of [[UPI]]. After ''Talon News'' first appeared in September 2003, it dominated daily news postings. See the listing of "correspondents" whose names accompany the ''Talon News'' byline below.
