Hi,
i’m trying to get my site to qualify for google news. There are some criteria that i need.
#1 is A picture of the reporter, full name and their title posted there. Also a link to an online profile, and all the articles written by that reporter.
The date and time the article was published, and if the article was edited, last update.
This article shows it well:
Is there a way to do this via the theme? or will i have to do it manually?
Hi,
The post pages do display the author photo and name, there is an author box at the end of the post, like in this example – http://prntscr.com/ok8fp3
Of course using cloud templates it can be moved in the beginning if needed.
Also they display the date and time depending on your settings – http://prntscr.com/ok8g5s
The theme loads the basic structured data for posts, you can test with their tool

I found some guides concerning Google news, maybe they are helpful
