Kurt Wagner says, “Facebook is making a pitch to media publishers: let us host your content for you, and we’ll make it look beautiful (and give you more eyeballs) in the process.

That’s according to Chris Cox, Facebook’s chief product officer, who joined Re/code‘s Peter Kafka onstage Tuesday at the Code/Media conference at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Calif.

Cox says that Facebook is actually having these kinds of discussion with publishers, and is trying to figure out a model that would enable Facebook to host content that would otherwise go on a publisher’s own website. Cox says one of the challenges for publishers — including Facebook — is that reading on mobile is still a crummy experience. He believes Facebook can make it better”.
