Facebook Inc doesn’t know how news organisations will fit into an initiative to provide transparency for political advertising on its social network. 

The company came up with a policy that puts news publishers in the same category as political publishers for the purposes of its new ad-transparency efforts. Facebook told media organisations they would have to verify their identities and have any ads promoting stories about politics placed in a public database, just like political campaigns would.
