I'm not sure what 'reaching for a byline' means.
There is much media bias, and though I am not familiar with the Newsweek writer, perhaps she is one of the offenders. It seems that with such a "target rich" environment that the author of this piece could have found examples of bias in written articles and used that to "prove up" her thesis of media bias.

The author of the posted article appears to have a byline, 'write about supporters of abortion'. The citation of the Ann journalist turned NARAL advocate was a twist (thus reaching for a byline) to connect her previous articles to her new career move.
