Announcing FB Newswire, Powered by Storyful

Every day, news is made on Facebook. More than one billion people use our platform to discover, explore and participate in news-making events around the world.

Now, we’re excited to announce FB Newswire, a resource that will make it easier for journalists and newsrooms to find, share and embed newsworthy content from Facebook in the media they produce. Powered by Storyful, the leader in social content discovery and verification for newsrooms, FB Newswire aggregates newsworthy content shared publicly on Facebook by individuals and organizations across the world for journalists to use in their reporting.

This will include original photos, videos and status updates posted by people on the front lines of major events like protests, elections and sporting events.
