						<p>Instagram is reportedly weighing plans to share some of its advertising revenue with publishers who are helping turn the platform into a hub for news content.</p>
<p>The plan under consideration would see the Facebook-owned social network give outlets a cut of the ad sales from clips they post to Instagram&#8217;s IGTV video platform, <strong>Axios reported Tuesday</strong>.</p>
<p>But Instagram is stepping carefully because it&#8217;s still figuring out how to compensate high-profile users for their content, according to the outlet. The company also wants to avoid rushing deals and potentially angering publishers who have griped about being &#8220;bait and switched&#8221; by Facebook, the report says.</p>
<p>While it irons out the details, Instagram has reportedly made isolated deals to bankroll content from certain publishers. Those include a partnership with BuzzFeed to produce an IGTV series and a deal in which Instagram paid the social-media-focused news outlet ATTN: to make get-out-the-vote videos ahead of the presidential election, Axios reports.</p>
<p>Facebook and fellow tech giant Google have faced pressure in recent years to pay publishers for their content amid concerns about the platforms siphoning ad revenue from struggling news outlets.</p>
<p>Instagram&#8217;s reported discussions come about a year after Facebook <strong>rolled out a dedicated news tab</strong> featuring headlines from outlets that receive licensing fees for the use of their stories. Google <strong>announced a similar $1 billion effort</strong> last month.</p>
<p>Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. The company&#8217;s stock price was down about 0.7 percent at $277.09 as of 1:30 p.m.</p>
