Played around with this on .dev/news and it seems like all we need to do is set the default Twitter and Facebook card images in the Ghost dashboard:

There's a way to set a different image for each tag, but it may be enough to use the basic publication cover image for now.

Will run this by @QuincyLarson real quick before changing those settings.

Did a bit more testing and it seems like author pages will show the author's cover image when shared. We'll probably need to find a good way to add a default image in the theme, then confirm that it's overridden if the author adds a new cover image.

For the tags pages, I went ahead and added the default cover image for both Twitter and Facebook. I also started adding custom images for the most popular tags like tech, programming, technology, and so on. I'll continue to do that for the popular tags and programming languages.

Here is a related issue from a while back :)
