Overview
- Meta confirmed paid, multiyear content agreements with CNN, Fox News, USA TODAY and the USA TODAY Network, Le Monde Group, People Inc., Fox Sports, The Daily Caller and The Washington Examiner.
- Partner material will feed Meta AI with up-to-date responses on news and current events, with clear source attribution and links to publishers’ articles.
- Meta AI’s real-time news answers are available within search and messaging across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger.
- The move revives paid support for news after Meta ended its publisher payout program in 2022 and shut down Facebook’s U.S. News Tab in 2024.
- The partner mix includes prominent conservative outlets, drawing attention given Facebook’s past scrutiny over alleged bias in news decisions.
