Watch the interview: Facebook’s heads of News Feed and news partnerships

Adam Mosseri and Campbell Brown onstage from Code Media.

Campbell Brown, Facebook’s head of news partnerships, and Adam Mosseri, Facebook’s head of News Feed, will be live from Recode’s Code Media conference in Huntington Beach, Calif., on Monday, Feb. 12, at 3:50 pm PT / 6:50 pm ET.

Facebook has come under increased scrutiny after it was revealed that Russian agents used the platform to spread disinformation to manipulate the outcome of last year’s U.S. presidential election. Facebook recently changed the algorithm that controls its News Feed to prioritize friends and family over publishers, while also surveying its readers to rate the trustworthiness of news organizations, all of which will profoundly impact the media business.

Update: If you’d prefer to listen to the interview as a podcast, you can find it on Recode Media with Peter Kafka, or in the embedded audio player, below:
