Facebook steps up efforts to Work with Journalists

On its media page, Facebook publishes success stories of how media organizations are using its platform... And now, Facebook is rolling out a similar page, but targeted to journalists.

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. The Page will provide journalists with best practices for integrating the latest Facebook products with their work and connecting with the Facebook audience of more than 500 million people.

Osofsky says they’re also creating a “Facebook Journalism Meetup” program, hosting “hands-on workshops on how to use Facebook as a reporting tool.”
