In the era of ‘FAKE NEWS’, Facebook has begun its rollout of ‘Facebook News’ for users based in the UK. This service will be a tailored choice of Facebook approved news sources that users can consume on the web or the official Facebook app in its very own tab.

Both services aim at getting essential and relevant news to its users through an interactive feed, that changes depending on the user.

These new ways to digest news has been something that has been coming for a few years now, with this statistic that states: “As of 2020, Pew Research Center reported that American adults who look to social media for news is now at 55%.” With more and more people looking to social media for their information, and Facebook embracing this, it should be easier for users to stay up to date with what matters to them while still connecting through the Facebook platform.

The strategic implication for B2C and B2B is the same; distribution gets easier to buy, credibility gets harder to earn. Threads rewards coherence in public conversation, how you answer, how you sound, how specific you are. Treat it as a trust surface, because that’s where decisions get shaped now.

Feeds are getting tired of “perfect”. A lot of the most interesting work going into 2026 is reacting against hyper-digital polish with visuals that feel more handled: scanned textures, mismatched elements, collecting layouts, and deliberate “imperfections” that make the human hand visible again. That matters for social, because audiences clock…
