Facebook could launch a new section of 'high quality' news by the end of 2019
New York Facebook is developing a new section devoted to curating"high quality" and"trustworthy" news, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said on Monday. And, according to a person familiar with the conversations, executives have discussed possibly launching it by the end of 2019.
The new section, Zuckerberg said, would be modeled after Facebook's existing"Watch" tab, a section on the platform that hosts videos and original programming. It would be separate from News Feed which would remain unchanged, meaning users would still be able to share and find news there.
