Facebook's new feature can be beneficial to journalists

I know a lot of us are not too happy with all of the changes Facebook has rolled out in the past few months. There's still one addition still in the works, timeline. If you're still mad about the changes, this article may make you feel a little better.

Facebook's journalist program manager, Vadim Lavrusik, spoke at a Mashable's Media Summit and explained how the changes can be useful to journalists. The subscribe feature allows journalists to make posts as themselves. They would need to double check their privacy settings to make sure they're searchable, though.

Another good point Lavrusik made is not everyone is going to use every single feature on Facebook, and that's ok. Trying to keep up with every feature is when Facebook starts to get difficult. The main point is to use what features will help you network and get your stuff out there the best.
