Facebook is working on a new section called Today In for local news

 

Social Media

According to a report, Facebook is working on a new section which will be called "Today In". This new section will be for showing local news, events and announcements. This new section 'Today In' is intended for the purpose of showing city-local news and also to include local publishers in it.

According to a report by CNET, The test is currently live for a new section called "Today In" in six US cities.

This feature can be accessed through the bottom-right menu button on Facebook, but it is accessible now only by the users in test markets.

Today In' section will be powered by a machine learning software. All the local news publishers will be approved by a Facebook News Partnerships team. Last year, the social media giant also tested products to connect its users to local news.
