<p>While Mark Zuckerberg gives speeches about <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/17/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-freedom-of-expression/">not wanting Facebook</a> to be the arbiter of truth, the  <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-reaches-deal-with-wall-street-journal-publisher-others-for-news-section-11571431387" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Wall Street Journal</em></a> reports his company is setting up deals to launch its dedicated tab for news. In a post earlier this year, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/01/facebook-news-tab-mark-zuckerberg/">the CEO said</a> &#8220;It&#8217;s important to me that we help people get trustworthy news and find solutions that help journalists around the world do their important work.&#8221; </p>
<p>That will apparently take the form of a new section featuring <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/20/facebook-news-tab-human-curation/">human-curated Top News headlines</a> (along with algorithmically-sorted subsections from &#8220;trusted publishers&#8221; that include those from <em>WSJ </em>parent News Corp, Buzzfeed News, the Washington Post and others. Its sources indicate that licensing fees could range from hundreds of thousands per year to millions for larger outlets. </p>
<p>Facebook&#8217;s recent troubles and a lack of trust in the company has stung its Libra cryptocurrency efforts, but paying publishers should help it fill out a news section that will compete with <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/26/apple-news-plus-hands-on/">Apple&#8217;s news package</a> and Google&#8217;s <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/11/google-to-roll-out-redesigned-news-tab/">recently-readjusted news page</a>. </p>

<p>The service will give equal weight to subscription news sites and non-subscription news sites, which was once an issue of contention between News Corps and Google News. Google ended a policy in 2017 that downgraded news articles that were under a paywall in its search rankings. The service will also aim to promote original news reports, rather than rewrites of existing articles. &#8220;We are exploring this with the goal of recognizing and rewarding the provenance of journalism, and to drive traffic and data to publishers—including subscription sites—so their original work is respected,&#8221; said News Corps spokesperson James Kennedy to WSJ. &#8220;We want people to see a wide spectrum of news and views, from local, niche and national sources, without bent or bias.&#8221;</p>
<p>Digital platforms like Apple, Facebook and Google have long been accused by some of showing <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/06/27/facebook-twitter-meet--gop-leaders-tech-liberal-bias-censorship/">liberal bias</a> in its rankings and other decision-making. The move by News Corp arrives the same week as the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/20/facebook-liberal-bias-report-findings/">release </a>of a nearly year-long conservative bias audit on Facebook. The report <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/20/facebook-audit-conservative-bias-amid-criticism-1469287">stopped short</a> of proving actual bias, but did lead to Facebook altering its advertising policy regarding certain anti-abortion ads.</p>
<p>An early version of Knewz.com is being shown to News Corp executives, and an official launch could come later this year. Given the soiled reputation of existing digital platforms due to claims of bias, it could become a viable alternative for some people.</p>
