But there are a lot of problems with news on social networks. First is conflating news organizations with our social contacts.

The New York Times is not my aunt; I do not care about it and want to encourage or engage with it in the same way I do with people I care about.

And my aunt is not the New York Times; she has not been fact checked nor has she verified two independent sources for her posts.

Mixing personal contacts with news sources in the same stream is a problem for both.
