Now, in a video produced by Facebook and posted to Zuckerberg's profile on the site, the CEO discussed new ideas for how online news could work. Zuckerberg suggested, for example, that Facebook might build a dedicated section for "high quality news." And he discussed the idea of paying publishers to support it.

"We talked about the role quality journalism plays in building informed communities, and the principles Facebook should use for building a news tab to surface more high quality news, including the business model and ecosystem to support it," Zuckerberg wrote in an introduction for the video Monday.
