Cox told Re/code’s Peter Kafka that Facebook is in discussions with publishers to help establish a model under which content that would normally go on publishers’ own websites would appear on the social network, adding that potential partnerships with publishers will not be part of the near future, and that he doesn’t see Facebook as a threat to publishers’ existing Web properties.
