 Mark Zuckerberg described the new News Feed as a “personalized newspaper” that is more visual and allows users to choose the topics they’re most interested in. The images and links to articles are bigger, making it easier to see on mobile screens.

“This design reflects the evolving face of News Feed,” Mr. Zuckerberg said at a news conference at the company’s headquarters here in Silicon Valley.
