About news Page index

Facebook News, located in the News tab, is no longer available in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Starting in early April, it will no longer be available in the United States and Australia. Learn more.

The news Page index is a foundational step to help us identify Facebook Pages that primarily publish news content.

Any Facebook Page that primarily creates journalism should be registered as a news Page on Facebook. As a member of the news Page index, publishers may be eligible to:

• Appear in Facebook News.
• Send news messages in Messenger.
• Use the Context button.
• Onboard to the WhatsApp Business API.
• Receive exemption from the authorisation and disclaimer process for ads about social issues, elections or politics.

To ensure the best experiences for people and publishers, we may modify these guidelines as necessary, and we may make exceptions based on additional considerations. Guideline modifications will be communicated in this Help Centre. Inclusion in the news Page index is based on these guidelines and does not constitute an endorsement by Meta technologies of the views espoused by included Pages.

Use this guide to begin your news Page index registration.
