No doubt you're already familiar with Facebook's new design. However, you'll soon see journalists taking advantage of the social network's tools in fresh, strategic ways.

Facebook's journalist program manager, Vadim Lavrusik, sat down with Mashable's SVP of content and executive editor, Adam Ostrow, at the Mashable Media Summit to discuss the platform's new features, and how journalists can take advantage of them. Overall, the changes mean journalists can more easily brand themselves, promote their content and report by crowdsourcing. Lavrusik also addressed advertising concerns and privacy issues on a larger scale, reassuring the audience that Facebook's new overhaul has accounted for potential weaknesses.

Take a look at the video, not only to discover how journalists are using Facebook, but also how to position yourself around your favorite publications and writers.
