Facebook wants to help you get out of your media bubble.
The Watch Workplace Picnic Goal Onlinesocial network is testing a feature that will provide users with additional context when they see major stories in their News Feeds. This is yet another example of Facebook trying to figure out how to provide extra context and information to its users as it looks to curb the rise of fake news and misinformation.

You won't just see extra articles, either. Su noted the feature provides a way for Facebook to give extra context to what you're seeing — like information from fact checkers.
"These additional articles, which appear for topics many people are talking about on Facebook, will appear in a unit below the link. That should provide people easier access to additional perspectives and information, including articles by third-party fact-checkers."

Facebook has experimented with flagging stories that have been disputed by fact checkers and rolled out a tool to try to help its users identify bad information. It also launched the "Facebook Journalism Project," joined the "News Integrity Initiative," and teamed with Google on a project to verify and debunk information online.
