Do you get your news from social media?
If so, you're not alone; in 2017, more than two-thirds of United States adults got their news from social media, according to Pew Research Center.
But the landscape of news on social media is ever-changing.
On Jan. 11, Facebook announced it would alter its News Feed, indicating it would reduce the amount of posts you see from news organizations, businesses and brand pages in favor of content from your friends and family.
This means you could see fewer posts from your favorite news sources, including the WZZM 13. But here's the good news: There's an easy way to keep your favorite news sources visible in your Facebook News Feed.
