Bulletin has completed six months of existence and now hosts more than 115 publications, to to remark this milestone, Meta has announced updates on the further development and expansion of the newsletter platform.

Meta has announced that an integral part of the development and expansion of Bulletin would be focussed on increasing the number of creators on Bulletin which would include different topics and types of content, from video-first and audio-focused creators to long- and short-form writers, and more. These efforts would also include helping new writers in growing and monetizing their audience.
