The company published a blog post announcing several new features for public figures, including multi-contributor “Stories.”
Why it matters: The change should make it easier for multiple contributors to add to a single post or story during an event, helping with coordination for those who oversee the accounts.
The details: Here is what Facebook is up to with the new tools for public figures:
Testing the ability for multiple public figures to contribute to the same Facebook Story during an event, as well as a new feature in News Feed to help people discover public figures to follow.
Adding more tools to make it easier for public figures to engage directly with their communities, including a new Fan Reply sticker for Facebook Stories.
Building out ways for public figures to make money and grow their businesses on Facebook, including more ways to sell directly to fans and expanding Facebook Stars.
Protecting public figures from abuse on the Facebook family platforms with new ways to help ensure interactions between people and public figures are safe and authentic.
