Facebook's News Partnership Chief Campbell Brown Leaves Meta After Initiatives Struggle to Gain Traction

Campbell Brown, who led Facebook's news partnerships, is leaving Meta after 6 years.

Brown was hired in 2017 to smooth relationships with media outlets amid fake news concerns.

She led new initiatives like Facebook News and Bulletin, but they failed to gain traction.

Meta has de-emphasized news, shifting focus to personal posts and interactions.

Brown's departure leaves Meta without a prominent news industry liaison ahead of the 2024 election.
