“Facebook’s latest gesture to news publishers is a three-month program to help them master video programming that comes with $300,000 in funding — along with workshops and advice. Facebook’s Journalism Project has chosen roughly 20 news publishers from the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy to take part in the program. According to Facebook, the publishers picked for the program already have fairly mature video businesses, but are diverse in outlook and region, including tabloid titles and digital-first news outlets. Facebook wouldn’t name any of the publishers.”
