Facebook has announced plans to launch its news service in several countries in the coming months. Introduced in the United States last year, Facebook News will expand to the UK, Germany, France, India, and Brazil “within the next six months to a year.”In a on Tuesday, Campbell Brown, vice president of Global News Partnerships at Facebook, said that the company’s news service is off to a strong start. An internal analysis finds that “over 95 percent of the traffic Facebook News delivers to publishers is incremental to the traffic they already get from News Feed.”The company wants to build on this progress and bring the service to many more countries in the coming months. Brown ensures that Facebook would pay news publishers in each country it launches the news service.
