Facebook wants to make sure you’ve read the article you’re about to share
Facebook announced it will start testing a pop-up that will encourage users to read an article before sharing. The pop-up warns users that not opening the article can lead to “missing key facts” and reminds them that headlines often do not tell the whole story. The intent of the pop-up is to help promote more informed sharing of news articles and to combat the spread of misinformation on the platform. The test will be rolled out to 6% of Android users worldwide.

Building a platform for Black stories by Black journalists
With the help of the Reynolds Journalism Institute, the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) will launch a new platform to share untold stories about Black communities through the work of Black journalists. The NABJ Media Network will feature news stories written, shot, edited, and produced by NABJ members and colleagues. The stories will profile the Black experience from multiple perspectives and shed a light on social injustices in Black communities that are often underreported. The goal is to provide a platform for Black communities and to utilize experienced journalists who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to be published in traditional newsrooms.
