Content ‘authors’

I’ve started a new job whereby I’m sourcing and rewriting stories and content related to immigration and emigration.

I’ve been told that google likes it better if you add different names for the author of these stories.

Does anyone know anything about this? I’m basically getting press releases and writing them into news articles then assigning the articles to other people who work on the floor… I’m also linking to internal and external sites using key words in the articles, this is right yes??
