Noting that half of posts on the News Feed are photos and visual content, the Facebook team has made photos and albums larger, evoking what it's done for the Timeline. Articles have also been expanded to include a fuller summary and the logo of the publication. Facebook is similarly working to make third-party content from places like Pinterest more attractive. When multiple people share something like an article, hovering over profile icons on the left-hand side will display what each of them has said about this.
Besides the visual redesign, Facebook is also trying to take advantage of its "Like" system and multiple streams of information from apps or different groups of friends. Along with user's friends' stories, it will begin including recommended articles or other content from people or pages that they're interested in — the example given was seeing articles about Taylor Swift if you've liked her on Facebook. A list of multiple feeds is shown on the left (or the top on mobile), showing friends' posts for things like photos, music, or games. Some of these already existed: games and "close friends" already got their own feeds, for example. There's a new dedicated feed for people you follow but aren't friends with, another nod to the change from pure social network to "newspaper."
