Facebook to pay UK media for content from 2001 as it prepares to launch ’News’

Facebook will start paying British mainstream news outlets licensing fees for content under its ’News’ tab, which it is expected to launch in January. Facebook said it aims to help publishers expand their audience that will benefit both their subscriber numbers and ad revenue. This comes at a times when the UK government is planning action against Facebook for its dominance on online ads.
