Exactly what do newspapers and cable news have in common with each other that Facebook doesn't?

  They pay reporters.

    Facebook employs moderators.

      In other words: Facebook doesn't employ journalists, certainly not to do journalism.

      You don't see a difference between a moderator and a reporter in terms of content creation?

    Quite many of them don't, many (most?) not-top newspapers re-publish news gathered by others; many (most?) cable companies don't produce any news content themselves but just provide access to a bunch of news channels. Those still are media companies.

      > many (most?) not-top newspapers re-publish news gathered by others If you're referring to AP and other news services, they pay quite a lot for that, so the reporters are paid. Also, they contribute their own stories from their paid reporters to the service for other members to share.
