Zuckerberg Vows To Add More Local News To Facebook Newsfeeds
“People who know what’s happening around them are more likely to get involved and help make a difference,” said CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The company whose goal was once “to make the world more open and connected” is doubling down on local matters.
Facebook announced Monday it will begin showing more news from local outlets in the Newsfeed.
The strategy shift is part of a broader push at the site to elevate content from trusted sources, given the site’s role in the 2016 election as a massive conduit of disinformation from Russian agents to the American public.
