Where To Present

the Content

Use existing social media apps and sites that millions of millennials access every day

Use stories and feeds to present the content, these are much more accessible than individual apps

Don’t make your viewers find you, find your viewers!

From Us and Others:

We want young newscasters to present relevant news that isn’t full of useless filler

Get the newscasters out from behind a desk

We want to see reliable local news on social media that we already use

-Mark Zuckerberg

“The bottom line is: we take misinformation seriously. Our goal is to connect people with the stories they find most meaningful, and we know people want accurate information. We've been working on this problem for a long time and we take this responsibility seriously. We've made significant progress, but there is more work to be done.”
