Mark Zuckerberg Doesn’t Understand Journalism
Either that, or he doesn’t care.

Mark Zuckerberg wants you lot to know that he cares, actually cares, most journalism.
“I take in our responsibleness inwards intelligence every bit 2 things,” he said inwards a wide-ranging conversation alongside a modest grouping of intelligence editors as well as executives assembled inwards Palo Alto for a journalism gathering known every bit Off the Record on Tuesday afternoon. “One is making certain people tin larn trustworthy news.”

The other, he said, “is edifice mutual terra firma inwards society.” It turns out that “common ground” is all of a abrupt Zuckerberg’s preferred euphemism. (That, as well as “community.”)

“You’re non going to hold upwards able to twosome mutual ground,” he said, unless you lot bring a “common fix of facts then that you lot tin at to the lowest degree bring a coherent debate.”
And here’s where the contradictions inundation in.

Zuckerberg runs a media companionship that distributes news, only doesn’t bring a proper newsroom. He runs a media companionship that has—with Google’s help—dominated the vast bulk of digital advertizement dollars as well as eviscerated the journalism industry’s trouble organisation model, all piece preaching most the importance of journalism. He runs a media companionship that, he says, believes deeply inwards the ask to sustain independent journalism, only won’t pay publishers to license journalistic content. And he runs a media companionship that has decided to exhibit its users less intelligence from professional person outlets—it’s actually non what people desire to see, he says—in favor of to a greater extent than private opinions.

According to Zuckerberg, the means you lot honour mutual ground—a mutual fix of facts—is non through professional person intelligence outlets, only via individuals. And Facebook, alongside its 2 billion or then users, has enough of them. But piece Zuckerberg said Facebook is forthwith ranking intelligence outlets past times trustworthiness—in person, he didn’t look to distinguish amid the character of opinions.

“I create mean value that inwards general, inside a intelligence organization, in that place is an opinion,” he said. “I create mean value that a lot of what you lot all do, is bring an sentiment as well as bring a view.”..."CEO Mark Zuckerberg Says Facebook Will Rank News Outlets By Trustworthiness" (FB)
