Facebook unveils measures to promote stronger ties with news industry


Facebook are one of the first companies to hold face to face meetings with the large companies about working collaboratively on providing news. They intend to share their technology with the news industry in the hope of creating closer ties.

Facebook is inviting major news organizations roundtables, hackathons and shared online groups.
I think this is a smart move by Facebook as with the whole issue with fake news is still ongoing the news industry needs to feel like they can trust social media networks again and Facebook is taking the right step forward in creating those ties.
