Facebook began rolling out its stand-alone Facebook News tab in the U.K. Tuesday, after saying late last November that it would do so in early 2021.

Director of news partnerships for Europe Jesper Doub said in a blog post last November that Facebook News would debut in the U.K. with publisher partners including Archant, Condé Nast, The Economist, ESI Media, Guardian Media Group, Hearst, Iliffe, JPI Media, Midland News Association, Reach and STV, and Doub updated that list in a blog post Tuesday, adding Channel 4 News, Daily Mail Group, DC Thomson, Financial Times, Sky News and Telegraph Media Group to the list.
