Facebook launches FBTechwire

Facebook has launched a service called FBTechwire that allows technology journalists to find newsworthy content from the technology industry in one place.

In a posting, Facebook wrote:

The goal of FB Techwire is to aid in the discovery of original content including breaking news, first-person analysis, photos and videos for journalists who care about and cover tech.

People turn to Facebook to learn and discuss what’s happening in the world, and more newsworthy content is shared and discovered on our platform than ever before. Features like trending topics, improvements to pages and video, and recent changes to News Feed have made journalists and media organizations an even more integral part of the news discovery process. Since it launched in April, FB Newswire has made it easy for journalists and newsrooms to find, share and embed newsworthy content from Facebook, and FB Techwire should do the same for tech journalists.
