It's who creates the pages and or is set as the Page author, it defaults to you, but you can change it in the header, so whoever that person is, will get the notifications.

hiChrisWebbTech are you sure?
I've tried to change the displayAuthor (the one displayed on the header) but the comment notification keeps arriving only to the author in the CreatedBy field, which you can see in the pages view,a field you cannot modify easily.

i've opened a specific request for this

    I have created a User Voice request for the ability to change who receives the comment notifications on news posts. Please vote for it is you find it relevant: https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/39643537-news-post-notifications-to-author-not-creator
    
    Thanks!
