In Poynter’s recent blog titled “Facebook is testing products to connect it’s users to local news”, they explain the latest installment of features offered by Facebook. These new testing products are designed to help continue to push and promote local happenings for users to keep them up to date on what is happening in their own neighborhoods.

Now ads are capable of incorporating Traffic, Video news, Conversions, and Mobile App Installs.
