Rupert Murdoch Calls For Facebook To Pay Publishers
In a surprise statement, News Corp's executive chairman, Rupert Murdoch, called on Facebook to start paying publishers for content posted to the site. Murdoch says Facebook's and Google's algorithms have become "inherently unreliable" for distributing news. Facebook recently made two big changes to its News Feed algorithm that will demote posts from brands and publishers. Facebook also said it would promote news from "trusted publishers" based on user surveys.
