For quite some time now, Facebook has been trying to become a news source for their users. In August 2013, they announced changes to their EdgeRank algorithm that should benefit media websites. However, when this changes were introduced in the late October 2013, some news and media websites have experienced a drop in Facebook referral traffic. As Facebook traffic now accounts for a major share of visits on every website, this has become one of the top challenges for journalists, community managers and content creators in the beginning of 2014.

First Things
1. Why Write for the Public?
Social scientists investigate and write about society. It therefore makes sense that they share this important work with those whom they study, including decision-makers. In truth, the public is very interested in what social science disciplines have to say—about politics, foreign policy, history, economics, area studies, studies of society, culture, and language. People are more aware of how relevant and important knowledge is in these fields than ever before.
A key reason is that they know or sense the world has entered a period of major uncertainty. Major challenges to liberal democracy.
