Facebook on Tuesday confirmed plans for a News Tab that will be edited by seasoned journalists, in a departure from its longstanding practice of letting algorithms dictate a user's experience.Other sections of the tab will rely on algorithms to figure out a user's interests based on"signals" such as pages followed, interactions with online news or subscriptions to publications.
