Facebook hires Campbell Brown, ex-NBC News reporter and CNN prime-time host, to lead News Partnerships team, says she won't be involved in content decisions
not a big surprise it's someone from TV world http://twitter.com/... Jacob Weisberg / @jacobwe : Hiring @campbell_brown a smart move for FB. They must figure out how to support & not undermine real journalism. http://www.nytimes.com/... Josh Constine / @joshconstine : Fb's hire of Campbell Brown as head of news is to bring TV newsrooms to feed. Fixing fake news is a different role http://www.techmeme.com/... Will Oremus / @willoremus : Facebook didn't hire an editor-in-chief. It hired an envoy. http://www.slate.com/... Matthew Panzarino / @panzer : This is an interesting choice that I believe is more about Facebook's wishes than its realities. http://twitter.com/... Peter Kafka / @pkafka : Like to hear from @vivian about what it's like to work for a giant tech platform that wants to make nice with publishers. Joe Pompeo / @joepompeo : “Facebook..emphasized..Brown's role was not to act as the sort of EIC that some commentators have said it needs.” http://nyti.ms/2i0QyMV See also Mediagazer
