BY ED EASTON
β οΈ Byline verification note: the first
vision_analyzepasses on the Star cover read the surname as "ED BASTON" (twice); a tight zoom crop of the byline line read "ED EASTON", and external verification confirms Ed Easton is a real Daily Star reporter (author slugedward-easton, bylines on dailystar.co.uk). The "BASTON" reads are discarded as vision misreads; no such journalist exists. The Express_print cover via Newsworks_line is the source of truth for the edition read.

Daily Star
- Ed Easton β cover story byline Bio: Daily Star reporter and football writer, also credited as "Edward Easton"; his Star archive mixes news features (Hells Angels investigation, Bayeux Tapestry, competitive bricklaying) with football and Fantasy Premier League coverage.

No IPSO ruling found. (Name-mismatch note: Wikipedia "Edward Easton" is an American politician, d. 2019; Muck Rack "Ed Easton Jr." is a Kansas City-based US sports journalist β both discarded.)
