According to Facebook, traffic to media and news sites
increased over 170% in the last year. So, Facebook is taking this insight
to make another update to the News Feed Algorithm which recognizes that people
want to see more news content. (As a reminder, these algorithm and overall
Facebook functionality updates further move Facebook into becoming an even more
open forum, globally).
The updated algorithm plans to show:
- More relevant articles in the feed: The feed will now include more article links along with suggested articles for continued reading.
- More comment stories: Articles will resurface in the newsfeed if friends have also read and commented on it, leading to more conversations between people and their friends.
