Vanguard publishes no author profile pages, so this returns the recent articles in one public feed (site-wide by default, or one section) credited to a byline, matched on the on-page "By <Name>" line or the site's creator field.
14 Oct 2026: 2 articles; 5 fields had a value in every checked item.
Sample value profiles: published_at: 2026-10-13; url: vanguardngr.com; title: median 61 characters.
