Facebook’s first newsroom imploded — now it’s trying again.
Facebook has a new plan to hire a team of seasoned journalists who will curate news stories to display to users, not unlike its shuttered “Trending Topics” section.
News Tab will not be agnostic to user preferences, though. Facebook plans for selection to be based on Pages they follow, publications they subscribe to, and news they share and engage with elsewhere on Facebook. Facebook later fired the human curators involved in the project and left its oversight to engineers, a decision that may cast a shadow over its News Tab efforts. The company attempted to distance News Tab from Trending Topics in a statement given on background.
In 2019, curating the news is an even trickier business for Facebook than ever. In the last three years, the company has come under fire for facilitating the spread of Russian state-sponsored disinformation in the 2016 U.S. election campaign. Those concerns have only grown over time, and both Facebook and Twitter said Monday that they had blocked advertisements bought by Chinese government-linked accounts that aimed to discredit pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.
