my notes ( ? )
Facebook is a weird beast that a lot of journalists still don't understand. That is because it has taken the definition of "news" back to the era before mass media even existed. Yet, as a business, it looks exactly like a mass-media company and competes aggressively for the same advertising budgets... Facebook's flirtation with journalism wasn't doing much for the business. ... lack of engagement plus all the bothersome ethical and moral questions... who can blame Facebook for pulling back?..
there's still one way for traditional news publishers to thrive: Tell great stories that people love so much that they feel compelled to share them on Facebook, or wherever else. Forget the algorithm and go directly to the people.
