Directions (For Questions 1 to 6) : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
How Facebook is changing the way we consume news. Greg Marra’s team designs the code that drives Facebook’s News Feed – the stream of updates, photographs, videos and stories that users see.

The 26- year-old Facebook engineer is also fast becoming one of the most influential people in the news business. Facebook now has a fifth of the world – about 1.3 billion people -logging on at least monthly. It drives up to 20 percent of traffic to news sites, according to figures from the analytics company SimpleReach. On mobile devices, the fastest-growing source of readers, the percentage is even higher, SimpleReach says.

About 30 percent of adults in the U.S. get their news on Facebook, according to a study from the Pew Research Center. Though other services, like Twitter and Google News, can also exert a large influence, Facebook is at the forefront of a fundamental change in how people consume journalism. Most readers now come to news not through the print editions of newspapers and magazines or their home pages online, but through social media and search engines driven by an algorithm, a mathematical formula that predicts what users might want to read.

It is a world of fragments, filtered by code and delivered on demand. For news organizations, said Cory Haik, senior editor for digital news at The Washington Post, the shift represents “the great unbundling” of journalism. “People won’t type in washingtonpost.com anymore.”
