Facebook is poised to use this platform to help students of Journalism and leave an indelible mark in the journalism industry.
FB said it's partnering with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Asian American Journalists Association, Native American Journalists Association and National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association to distribute up to $1 million in scholarships over the next five years. Each organization will receive
$250,000 through an initiative called The Facebook Journalism Project, with each individual scholarship expected to be worth $10,000.
The company stated in a blog post "The Facebook Journalism Project is committed to supporting the next generation of journalists,"
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is trying to hard to make sure the news industry is filtered and only delivers news feeds to people who are interested in their posts. This according to reports is another way of making this a reality as he partners with some of the top news industries.
