Facebook news use declining, WhatsApp growing: study
LONDON — News consumption is increasingly shifting from social media like Facebook to messaging applications like WhatsApp, according to a study published Thursday which also found high levels of international public concern about fake news online. The Reuters Institute report, which covers 37 countries in five continents, found that the use of social media for news fell by six percentage points in the United States compared to last year. "Almost all the decline is due to a decrease in the discovery, posting and sharing of news in Facebook," said lead author Nic Newman, a founding member of the BBC News website. Facebook suffered its worst public relations disaster in its history when a huge data privacy breach was revealed earlier this year. The scandal saw many users...

Twitter updates app to highlight big events, news stories
SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter Inc said on Wednesday it is changing its service to give more space to major events such as the World Cup, earthquakes, royal weddings and elections in a bid to make it easier for people to find interesting tweets. Twitter has tried to stand out with users and advertisers by emphasizing live events and instant news, in contrast with social networks such as Facebook Inc that have made news a lower priority than posts about family or friends. San Francisco-based Twitter said it would begin notifying users in its app when an event was happening that might interest them, and that it would promote such events in a dedicated section of Twitter's search page. The prompts will appear at the top of Twitter's timeline, the heart of the service and the first thing...

Facebook releases new privacy safeguards after ceding to pressure from advertisers
WASHINGTON — Facebook is installing new controls it says will better inform its members about the way companies are targeting them with advertising, the latest step to quell a public outcry over the company's mishandling of user data. Starting on July 2, Facebook Inc for the first time will require advertisers to tell its users if a so-called data broker supplied information that led to them being served with an ad. Data brokers are firms that collect personal information about consumers and sell it to marketers and other businesses. Facebook has also set up new procedures for the handling of names of potential customers supplied by data brokers. Advertisers seeking to upload lists of these prospects onto Facebook's platform will first have to promise that the data vendor...
