du.
Das ist das Kürzel des jeweiligen Autors. Also nicht übersetzen. Ich kenne allerdings aus dem Stand die entsprechende Konvention im Englischen nicht.

: I don't think we have a two-letter code in the UK for an article's author. Usually it's either the author's full name or nothing. Some articles, eg on BBC News website, are written by teams of journalists.
