The social media platform that many have come to rely on as one of their main news sources – and that media publishers have come to rely on as one of the top methods of reaching their audiences – has just thrown the news in the back seat.
Facebook published an announcement last week, on Wednesday, June 29, stating they planned to make a series of changes to how information appears in their newsfeed. Posts from the people you are friends with will appear first, and posts from news publishers has been pushed back.
Facebook stated: Our top priority is keeping you connected to the people, places and things you want to be connected to — starting with the people you are friends with on Facebook. That’s why if it’s from your friends, it’s in your feed, period — you just have to scroll down. To help make sure you don’t miss the friends and family posts you are likely to care about, we put those posts toward the top of your News Feed.
