Facebook To Remove Trending News Section

Facebook has plans to remove the Trending News section of the platform. After reading their blog post, we learned that the use of that portion of the site was extremely low. The reason it is shocking to us is that we use that section multiple times per day as we work to glean knowledge about what content/news people are interested in consuming.

Facebook does have plans to adapt the platform to the way that their data suggest that people like to use Facebook. So, we will have to see if they are making the right decision. In all sincerity, it probably is a good decision for the masses, but for those that work in marketing and PR….it was pretty convenient.

Here is the link to see all of the details about the change.
