Missing The News In Your Feed? Here's How To Get It Back

DENVER (CBS4) - Facebook announced last week that it is once again changing its news feed, putting a higher priority on posts from friends and family and more tailored selections from news or media outlets.

This isn't the first time Facebook has adjusted its news feed algorithm, and likely won't be the last. Facebook regularly updates the algorithm that decides what posts users see. These changes, though, mean you'll see less of the news that's important to you.

How can you make sure you're still getting news from your favorite pages? Here's how:

Go to the Facebook page of any publication you want to regularly see in your news feed, like us, CBS Denver. Make sure the box marked "Like" is checked. That means you're following our page.

If you're on a desktop, hover over the downward facing arrow on the "Like" button. A drop down menu will appear. If you're on your phone, tap the "Following" button for a similar menu.

If you're on your desktop, you should see a "In Your News Feed" drop down, which is probably already set to "default." This means that anything you see from CBS Denver's Facebook page will be determined by Facebook's algorithm.

If you want to see everything CBS Denver posts, click the "See First" option.

Want to dig a little deeper? Click on the tiny pencil button to the right of "In Your News Feed," and you'll see more options. This gives you the ability to be notified with pop-up Facebook notifications when CBS Denver posts specific types of content, like links, photos, or video.

The End! Sort of...

We'll see how long it is until Facebook changes their algorithm again. Until then, do you actually want to see everything we post? Possibly not. But if you don't click the "See First" option, you'll see what they think you want to see, not what you actually like and want to see.
