Facebook is working on a “news tab” that intend to financially support “high quality and trustworthy” journalism, said CEO Mark Zuckerberg, on Tuesday.
In a video conversation about the future of technology and society with Mathias Doepfner, chairman of German-based media giant Axel Springer, Zuckerberg said that Facebook would build this product separate from its personalized feed that would serve people who want news from professional media.
“There are a lot of people who demand more news,” Zuckerberg said he believes as many as 10 to 15 per cent of Facebook users would be interested in a dedicated news tab.
Mark Zuckerberg commented that it is very essential to help people get trustworthy news and find solutions that are genuinely true.
“Our new feed would do that in future.”
