Easy way to find news, sports, etc for your country/language of choice on FB

Postby WalkingAlone13 » Sun Oct 15, 2017 2:59 pm

I do not know if this is the appropriate place, but it strikes me as a resource of sorts, so why not.

I was looking through Facebook for some more pages with daily news in Swedish. However this is not always so easy to do as the search function does not appear overly useful. After getting bored of trying to remember the media I used to consume whilst in Finland, I figured there must be a better way, and after a bit of searching I stumbled upon: https://117f8628.socialbakers.com/stati ... aily-news/

The website gives you the option to choose what type of media you are looking for, which country the media should be from and lastly total fans overall/total fans from the country you selected. You can open the result directly on the FB page, if it looks like the sort of thing you were looking for you can like it there and then. It is definitely a time saver for anyone that likes to turn Facebook into a means of exposure to their target languages. Probably more functions available but that's enough for me so I have not explored further.

Just thought I would share.
