My favourite story involving Facebook and the news is when Facebook's head of news - Campbell Brown (the former CNN anchor), went down to Australia. She was hired after the 2016 election as a go-between for Facebook and news organizations. According to a report in "The Australian" she is quoted to have allegedly said "We will help you revitalise journalism... in a few years the ­reverse looks like I’ll be holding your hands with your dying ­business like in a hospice" and "We are not interested in talking to you about your traffic and referrals anymore. That is the old world and there is no going back – Mark wouldn’t agree to this" Then Facebook denied that this happened. So to summarize: - Facebook is accused of not doing enough to combat fake news - Facebook hires Campbell Brown to be a point person to deal with the fake news situation - A newspaper reports that Campbell Brown allegedly tried to push them around - Facebook says this is fake news
