Facebook is Your New Editor

If you’re on Facebook, you should get to know Greg Marra. Marra is an engineer for the company who works its News Feed, which means he’s part of a team that determines which news articles you see. Which means that Marra is your new editor.

Of course Marra doesn’t see it that way. Or rather, he has been told to tell media outlets that he doesn’t see it that way. “We try to explicitly view ourselves as not editors,” he told The New York Times.
