Facebook issued yet another update to its Trending feature, with three major changes rolling out to users in the U.S. starting Wednesday.

Vice president of product management Will Cathcart introduced the revamp in a Newsroom post, saying that the three changes that should be rolled out to all U.S. users “in the coming weeks” are:

  • Trending topics will now feature a headline from a publisher along with each topic.
