Significant that Meta is also abandoning many of its key news projects. Of course Facebook never had anything like the role of Twitter in #journalism https://www.niemanlab.org/2022/11/metas-layoffs-make-it-official-facebook-is-ready-to-part-ways-with-the-news/

@Kmac Locally for my newsroom, as well as supporting local news outlets around the country, Facebook was far more impt than Twitter. Tucson just isn't a Twitter town — and that company never spent any money to foster rebuilding and positive change in the news biz. The staff at the FB Journalism Project did vital work.
@DSmith_Tucson So interesting, thankyou. I tend to forget about local news :( And you have your own mastodon server!
