    Facebook Can’t Find Enough News

    March 18, 2019 4:59AM CDT
    Share
    • Facebook says it can’t find enough local content to support a widespread local news feed. So, it’s turning its findings over to those researching so-called news deserts.
    • The “Today In” service, available in only 400 US cities, provides users with local news and information but Facebook says its efforts have been hampered by a lack of news outlets providing original reporting.
    • Around 1,800 American newspapers have folded in the last 15 years and newsroom employment has been cut nearly in half, according to the University of North Carolina.
    • A community is declared unsuitable for the service if technicians can’t find a singe day within a month with at least five news items to share. Facebook plans to award grants to those with ideas to make more news available.
    • Why do you think media outlets are folding? Are you supporting your local media? Have you lost your local media?
