Facebook looks to open new advertising channels for publishers

Facebook is promising more advertising channels in a bid to be more lucrative for publishers, along with offering easier subscription services and a crack down on click bait.

Head of the company’s journalism partnerships, Aine Kerr, was speaking to Mumbrella earlier this week at the end of her Australian visit that included appearing before the Senate committee on the future of public interest journalism where it was revealed publishers received on average $100 a week from the service.
