Jennifer Grygiel, assistant professor of communications in the Newhouse School, was interviewed by the Associated Press for the article “Facebook makes a power move in Australia – and may regret it.” Facebook recently decided to block news on the social media platform across all of Australia. Grygiel, an expert on social media, says that the move from Facebook demonstrates Mark Zuckerberg’s ability to disrupt the flow of global news. “No company should have this much influence over access to journalism,” Grygiel says.
