When it comes to author pages on news websites, the decision to set them to index or noindex depends on your specific goals and circumstances.

If your primary objective is to improve the visibility and discoverability of individual authors and their content, setting author pages to index can be beneficial. This allows search engines to crawl and index these pages, making them more likely to appear in search results. It can also help establish author authority and contribute to overall website authority.

On the other hand, if your focus is on the main news content and you don’t want author pages to compete with or dilute the visibility of your core content, setting them to noindex may be a suitable option. This prevents search engines from indexing these pages, directing their attention solely to the main news articles.
