Facebook introduced its latest toy for journalists, Signal, a discovery and curation tool for content from the social network and Instagram.
The release of Signal follows last week’s expansion of the availability of Facebook’s Mentions application to all verified profiles.
The social network also launched Instant Articles—quicker-loading, interactivity-rich posts geared toward mobile devices—in June.
