Facebook now lets journalists broadcast live video
Using a new app called ‘Mentions,’ select Facebook users will be able to broadcast live video. Previously the feature was only available for high-profile public figures, but now journalists can enjoy the service.
Previously, live broadcasting was limited to celebrities, actors, athletes, musicians and politicians. Beginning today, Facebook has granted journalists the ability to broadcast live video to their news feed. The reason for this is likely due to the upcoming presidential campaign. Politicians now have the freedom to live broadcast during breaking news, behind the scenes reports, as well as host live Q&A sessions with their supporters. If you think you deserve the privilege to broadcast live video on Mentions, you can apply at the source link.
Facebook’s goal is to bring more up to date news right at your fingertips. Online Shopping, instant messaging, live broadcasting and more are just some of Facebook’s new implementations aimed at becoming people’s center for entertainment.
