Social networking giant Facebook has released a new tool to help journalists find, organise and publish content found on its extensive network. The tool called Signal, helps journalists find, source, and embed content from Facebook and Instagram. The tool will be free for journalists.

This launch comes a week after Facebook made its ‘Mentions’ app available to journalists with verified profiles. That app, which lets users track mentions of themselves and stream live video, was previously only for public figures like athletes and actors. If ‘Mentions’ is for outward-facing content and self-promotion, ‘Signal’ — which is desktop-only for now — is designed to make the backend of the news-gathering process easier.

‘Signal’ is simply the newest of Facebook’s efforts to intertwine itself with the journalist and media publications which have discovered success attracting an enormous viewers by way of the social community.
