Facebook launches page for journalists
Facebook has launched a new page for journalists to help them “find sources, interact with readers, and advance stories,” a post by the social media company has announced.
The page, which has racked up more than 5,000 ‘likes’ since it was launched yesterday, also promises to “provide journalists with best practices for integrating the latest Facebook products with their work and connecting with the Facebook audience of more than 500 million people”.
Facebook cites what it sees as “great examples for how Facebook can be used as a reporting tool”.
