The Washington Post would soon disseminate its stories through Facebook's Instant Articles platform.
Facebook’s platform would soon be flooded with a publication’s articles. Most media companies are interested in posting a set of stories on social platform’s Instant Articles; the Washing post aims to act in a different manner. The paper stated on Tuesday that it would post 100% of its website’s articles to Instant Articles. That contributes to roughly 1200 articles per day encompassing wire stories.
“We want to reach current and future readers on all platforms, and we aren’t holding anything back”, its publisher, Fred Ryan, stated. Facebook News today revealed that the company’s Instant Articles features, which has been launched gradually since it was proclaimed in May, permits media agencies to post their content directly on Facebook networker’s feeds, instead of the conventional approach of linking back to their webpages. The social platform pledges that Instant Articles would be speeding up load time for stories and would play a significant role in reaching larger audiences.
Facebook News affirmed that various publications, including Buzz Feed, New York Times, and the Atlantic, have signed during the launch, and on Tuesday others, such as Huffington Post, Vox Media, Daily Mail, Mashable, and MoviePlot, have also followed them. The Post has proclaimed that output would be significantly higher than that explained so far by the organization’s other collaborators.
The NYT, for instance, has stated it was testing with posting around 30 articles each day directly to Facebook’s news feed but had not pledged to a company number. Similarly, NBC News has also been posting 30 or 40 articles each day.
The Atlantic has stated that it was ready to share its content available through Facebook’s program and the official at Buzz Feed, Jonah Peretti, stated that his webpage is interested in posting as much content as possible on its network.
Facebook Breaking news reported that Instant Articles is one of the various new networks available to publications. A photo messaging application SnapChat offers a news platform, known as Discover, which has already logged up 15 publishers, including National Geographic, the Daily Mail, and Vice Media. Many publications also have logged on to post content in Apple’s News application, which released last week.
Commercial sources reported that Wall Street Journal is negotiating with Facebook but has not agreed to join in. Washington Post’s decision would influence readers towards the social media platform.
Facebook should operate the media-friendly initiative properly to dominate the competitive market and stay ahead of its rivals.
