Facebook launches program to support journalists in Kenya
Shares
Facebook has launched a product for journalists to register with the platform and receive features and tools designed to support them. This is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to identify the journalists publishing on its platform and understand how Facebook can better serve them.
With the launch, journalists in Kenya can register to receive safety and security features that help further protect their Facebook and Instagram accounts. Moving forward, this registration flow will allow Facebook to roll out additional features and use cases designed with journalists in mind.
Journalists can either register through an in-app quick promotion (QP) sent proactively by Facebook to accounts who are likely to be journalists, or through this Help Center page where anyone can access the registration flow. Registration is voluntary, and journalists must opt in to receive each program benefit.
