Facebook to roll out 'News' feature in multiple countries over next 6 months to year

Washington, Aug 25 (Sputnik) Facebook announced on Tuesday that it was planning to roll out its “News” feature in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, India and Brazil, over the next six months to a year after what it described as a strong start in the United States.
“The US launch of Facebook News marked a new chapter in our relationship with the news industry and it’s off to a strong start,” the social media giant said in a posting. “Based on this progress, we are accelerating our plans to expand internationally. We aim to launch Facebook News in multiple countries within the next six months to a year and are considering the UK, Germany, France, India and Brazil.”
Varying from the story links posted by its users, the News feature is built with publisher feedback and insights from people, and will be a “personalized destination for news within Facebook”, the company said.
