Facebook Inc tied up with 9 news publishers to launch "Instant Articles" that will let them publish articles directly to the social network's mobile news feeds.

• New York Times
• BuzzFeed
• National Geographic

The news publishers can either sell and embed advertisements in the articles and keep all of the revenue, or allow Facebook to sell ads
