Live Broadcasting Over Facebook

Journalists Can Now Broadcast Live Over Facebook

Julia Greenberg | September 10, 2015

Facebook wants more journalists to use its platform as their distribution channel of choice. Now the company is giving reporters a new tool: the ability to stream live on Facebook itself.
Facebook said today that verified journalists, experts, and other “influencers” will now be able to use its Mentions app—formerly available only to select celebrities. The app will allow journalists to post live to Facebook during breaking news, for behind-the-scenes reports, or to host live Q&As with followers, among other possibilities.
