You may soon be able to view news stories without ever leaving Facebook. That's because Facebook is in talks with news organizations about hosting news content.

This would mean Facebook users could view stories without having to click or tap on a link that takes them to a news outlet's site.

The New York Times reports this idea is being tested and will likely roll out in a few months.

The initial partners are expected to be The New York Times, BuzzFeed and National Geographic.
