Facebook recently announced an update to its news feed algorithm that will more favorably promote content posted by the friends and family of users. Those changes, the company says, will limit content posted by publishers, resulting in significantly less traffic to the hundreds of news media sites that have come to rely on Facebook. The change comes in the wake of criticism that news featured on the site has a liberal bent, and is accompanied by Facebook’s publication of a set of family friendly “values” which reiterates that content posted by friends and family is the top priority.
