ABC News and Facebook are partnering up to deliver resilient video reporting of the 2016 presidential debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Facebook . The companies previously exercise together during the Democratic and Republican debate , where ABC News used Facebook Live to rake in more than28 million video viewsacross ABC News ’ various Facebook Sir Frederick Handley Page .
This time , the partnership will allow ABC News to broadcast three debates between Clinton and Trump on Facebook Live , the fellowship ’s novel video - streaming weapons platform . to boot , ABC News will pullulate coverage of the frailty presidential debate between Mike Pence and Tim Kaine .
For most broadcasters , including ABC News , Facebook Live is still mostly a huge experimentation . ABC News will not be convey any commercial or ad on its live stream , something that could have possibly prevented the partnership from happening at all . AsGizmodo reported previously , journalists are in an unquiet alliance with Facebook and question whether the relationship is mutually good when it comes to advert revenue . For this particular experimentation , at least , that wo n’t be an takings .
