Facebook is testing a new section to emphasize local news

The initiative is called the Facebook Journalism Project and the first observable product to come from it is now in soft-launch in a few areas in the USA. Users in New Orleans, La.; Little Rock, Ark.; Billings, Mont.; Peoria, Ill.; Olympia, Wash.; and Binghamton, N.Y. will now have access to a new section, called "Today In [city name]". The idea is to deliver local news to you on daily basis.
To make sure that the stories are relevant and authentic, Facebook will only source links from local publishers that have been manually vetted by the News Partnership team first. Then, the stories themselves will be picked out by machine-learning software.
There's no word on when the new feature would be pushed to more areas.
