Now, Facebook will promote more local news

Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post, “From today we will show more of your local town or city news story.

He wrote, “If you follow your local publisher or if someone shares a local story, then it will be more visible in the news feed.” This latest Facebook update will be released to the US first and later this year it will be released to other countries.

Facebook is also taking some changes on its website because recently it was criticized on social media that Facebook is promoting wrong and fake news on its platform. Along with that, it was alleged that Facebook had influenced America’s presidential elections in 2016 through social media website.

Facebook has recently unveiled its centerpiece of the news feed so that the stories shared by friends and family are the first to be seen. Apart from this, Facebook has also made a significant reduction in the number of non-advertisement posts of brands and publishers.

However, this move of the company investors are very worried because they feel that this move of Facebook will allow people to spend less time on websites and apps.
