Wants to provide meta diversity content “Reliable and trustworthy“, Who has”Impact on the lives of users and those around them“In short, stop sharing fake messages for verified content. Other partners should be gradually added to the offer in the coming weeks.
Who chooses the content?
If you believe that Facebook Messages will become a source of as widely used information as Google News, the selected recipe will not be completely identical. When Google News picks up articles published everywhere on the Internet, Facebook wants to highlight the selected ones. Combining information and articles is done by an independent team of experienced journalists. They need to select the most relevant content. A partnership has also been formed with Media Services, an AFP subsidiary that specializes in this area. This will ensure that Facebook News provides a “fair view of the information published by publishers and broadcasters”.
Facebook News also displays real-time news digests during news highlights. All of these do not preclude a particular subject from choosing an article that has been pushed by such or such a partner. But if the general editing of the content, the choice of surface themes is pushed forward, users will have their say about the partners they want to appear in their feed. Admittedly, this again corresponds to a source of information that is compatible with one’s contacts, political or editorial sense. But, based on the journalism work of your next of kin, brother-in-law, co-worker or anyone else like you, the information base is much better than the often biased choice.
