Facebook has pledged a $300 million investment in news programs, partnerships and content. 

Components include: 

Facebook said, 

"News is a key part of Facebook’s mission to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. We’re going to continue fighting fake news, misinformation, and low quality news on Facebook. But we also have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to help local news organizations grow and thrive. We know we can’t do it alone, but there is more we can and will do to help."

Facebook has also added an option to make Dynamic Ads in multiple languages

Social Media Today states, "Facebook's Dynamic Ads are designed to "automatically show the right products to people who have expressed interest on your website, in your app or elsewhere on the Internet" by utilizing your uploaded product catalog and taking cues from user behavior."
