In a recent revelation, Facebook has decided to prioritize the local news in the social platform’s newsfeed. As a result, you are probably going to see more news from your local newspapers and the surroundings. At the outset, these changes are limited to United States; however, Facebook intends to launch this very feature across the globe.
Ideally, the notion will advantage the local publishers who find it extremely difficult to reach the ‘right’ audience in the news feed section. Moreover, it will also eradicate the bogus and fake links from the feed.
Undoubtedly, local publishers are going to relish this news but they will have to revise their expectations. According to Mark Zuckerberg, the amount of news in the news feed would ultimately decline from 5% to roughly 4%.
