Why Our Facebook Posts Are Getting Shorter

The headline and quick summary belong on Facebook. The complete story belongs on our website.

Long walls of text are easy to scroll past. A strong image, a clear headline, and a short teaser make it easier for readers to decide whether they want the full story.

The new format

Facebook posts will usually include one strong image, a headline, two or three useful sentences, and a direct link to the complete article.

Better for readers: Get the quick update immediately, then open the article for the full context.

Why this helps the brand

The website becomes a searchable library of reporting, first looks, comparisons, and reviews instead of letting every post disappear into a social feed.
