Facebook News, the news section of the Facebook company's application, was launched in Europe recently, and this after a long period in which it was available exclusively in the USA, Canada and other areas of the world, the decision to offer it being a very important one.
Facebook News reaches the UK first, so the rest of the major countries on the continent remain outside the system, and this could happen for a long time if Facebook is forced to pay for the news it displays there.
Facebook News is launched in Great Britain with hundreds of online publications that will have the content included for users, so we are talking about a very important decision that will bring a new experience for users in the Facebook application.
"Today, we're announcing new investments focused on journalism in the UK with the launch of Facebook News, a dedicated space for national and local news, coming in January 2021. With Facebook News, we'll pay publishers for content that isn't already on the platform, helps publishers reach new audiences and bring more advertising and subscription opportunities.
The first UK group of Facebook News publishers includes Archant, Conde Nast, The Economist, ESI Media, Guardian Media Group, Hearst, Iliffe, JPI Media, Midland News Association, Reach, STV and more.”
