Facebook has launched its online training for journalists, focusing on the three core pillars of the news cycle: discovering content, creating stories and building an audience.
Journalists who want to learn about Facebook’s products, tools and services for use in their work can access free e-learning courses. Each module contains case studies in journalism as well as best practices and guidelines from Facebook.
