these scholarship is to support diversity in journalism.
these donation will take the form of scholarships for the students pursuing a career in media and journalism.
It is a very small offering of Facebook when compared to Facebook's $545 billion market capitalization, but regardless of scale, these move is definitely a good thing for this new world.
Finally it is the great work because Facebook is not the one choosing who the scholarship winner will be, rather then this Facebook is helping empower four expert led organizations:the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Asian American Journalists Association, Native American Journalists Association, and National Lesbian and the Gay Journalists Association and being Facebook donating $1million at Journalism.
In 2014, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg described the News Feed during his first-ever public question-and-answer session by saying, “Our goal is to build the perfect personalized newspaper for every person in the world. We’re trying to personalize it and show you the stuff that’s going to be most interesting to you.”
At that time, News Feed wasn't primarily being populated by what friends share. Rather, Facebook Pages, those run by media companies and brands, had taken over. That sat fine with Zuckerberg. As he said later in the session, “If you’re a business owner thinking about how to use your free page on Facebook, I would just focus on trying to publish really good content that’s going to be compelling to your customers and the people that are following you.”
