Diverting SharePoint News comments to the Author

The other day a reader of my blog asked me how you can send the News comments to the person mentioned as the Author (rather than the person who created the post). I did not have an answer ready, so I decided to find out and report. I love investigating these kinds of things and finding as many workarounds as I can!

1. Read my earlier post on the topic
2. By default, the Creator of the News post = the Author
3. Readers can Like and Comment to posts and comments
4. You can receive or stop email notifications of Likes and/or Comments
5. External publishers (Creators or Authors) NEVER get email notifications
6. You can show Likes in the Pages Library
7. Email notifications only go to the Creator of the post
8. How can I make sure that the Author gets notified of comments and likes?
