On February 12, 2018, it was announced that Facebook was developing a news section within its streaming service Facebook Watch to feature breaking news stories. The news section was set to be overseen by Facebook's head of news partnerships Campbell Brown.[2]

On July 9, 2018, it was reported that the series would be hosted by Natasha Del Toro, a reporter and producer of investigative documentaries for Fusion since 2013. Correspondents for the series were set to include Mic senior writer Aaron Morrison focusing on social and criminal justice movements, Mic co-founder Jake Horowitz, focusing on newsmaker interviews, and Mic senior style editor Evan Ross Katz focusing on fashion and the changing LGBTQ landscape. Episodes of the show were expected to feature two stories each and run around 15 minutes in length.[3]
