The five lessons McCue says algorithms must learn from journalism include truth and accuracy, independence, fairness and impartiality, humanity, and accountability. Facebook recently updated its algorithm to prioritize friends and family over media publishers. McCue says Facebook's algorithms should be controlled by journalists.
