Facebook ‘newspaper’ could spell trouble for traditional media


traditional news is in threat as facebook has fulfilled its ambition to become a more personal news feed which is more appealing to the viewers as it to appeal to the likes of the user specifically unlike newspaper which provides newspaper about stories that only the editor finds sufficient enough to be on the news. Other institutions are trying to copy the algorithms used for the users preference used by Google and Facebook so that they too can have a user base that have personalised news feed however the major internet institutions have kept these algorithms under wrap extensively to ensure their user base stay large.

Facebook is a source of news for at least 30% of Americans

Facebook has so many engineers and data scientists to continually make the algorithm better,

Facebook can tailor its feed to the interests of the individual, delivering a mix of world news, community events and updates about friends or family.

Facebook should continue with the work that they are doing to better themselves because they are succeeding at it but other traditional news institutions should hire a team of expert coders to improve their online news feed.
