More details emerged Thursday on the subscription-based news product announced by Facebook head of news partnerships Campbell Brown earlier this month.
Brown said at the Digital Publishing Innovation Summit in New York earlier this month that the social network would begin testing a subscription-based news product in October, which will direct users to publishers’ homepages where they can purchase digital subscriptions.
She added that the feature’s paywall will make access to those publishers’ content subscription-only after users have accessed 10 articles.
A source familiar with Facebook’s proposals to publishers confirmed many of those details Thursday, saying that publishers will have full control over the conversion and payment process, and that payments will be processed directly via publishers’ websites.
