Facebook introduces platform for independent writers & journalists
Facebook will also provide resources and support to writers and journalists joining the platform, enabling them to build their business online with tools such as paid subscriptions.
Starting in the US, in the coming months, Facebook will partner with a small group of independent writers on the platform and provide them with resources focussed on content creation and audience growth.
The platform says the initiative would also support local and regional journalists who cover a specific community. Facebook will build more products and resources, designed for such journalists.
