Axios / Sara Fischer / Oct 20, 2021
“According to new data provided to Axios, Facebook says the News Tab now contributes to over 30% of overall Facebook news link referral traffic for U.S., U.K. and German publishers included in the tab. [VP of global news partnerships Campbell Brown] says the majority (88%) of referral traffic for news publishers from Facebook News in the U.S., U.K. and Germany are from people who don’t follow those pages already — which is 1.8 times higher than the referral traffic rate that publishers can expect to get from Facebook’s News Feed.”
