Facebook Launches Page for Journalists
On April 5, Justin Osofsky, Director of Media Partnerships at Facebook, announced through a blog post:
_“_Today we’re launching a new Journalists on Facebook page to serve as an ongoing resource for the growing number of reporters using Facebook to find sources, interact with readers, and advance stories.”
Essentially, the people at Facebook are extending an olive branch to journalists, with whom they have often had a rocky relationship.
To say that Facebook and the press have had a complicated relationship since the social network’s launch over seven years ago is probably an understatement.
