Meta's head of news partnerships Campbell Brown steps down after 7 years

Campbell Brown, Meta's head of news partnerships, is leaving the company after 7 years. She will become a consultant.

Brown was hired in 2017 to help improve Meta's relationships with news publishers.

Part of her role was to act as a liaison between Meta and news outlets.

Meta has had a rocky relationship with publishers, who were frustrated with changes like deprioritizing news.

Meta removed news access in Canada over a law requiring fees to media outlets. It is also shutting down Facebook News in some countries.
