Ep. 018: Major Facebook news feed changes

In January 2018, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a refocused vision for the social media giant, writing, “One of our big focus areas for 2018 is making sure the time we all spend on Facebook is time well spent.”

The practical changes Facebook is implementing to work toward this vision will have a big impact on those of us who do ministry on the platform, so in this episode of the MyCom Church Marketing Podcast, we will walk you through what’s changing and offer some ideas about how to adapt.
