After thinking up many possible solutions for delivering trustworthy news, Facebook is letting users judge for themselves.

Adam Mosseri, the head of News Feed, says in a news release today that the company will prioritize news from publications “that the community rates as trustworthy,” based on surveys of a sample of Facebook users across the country. This approach, which will be tested first in the US, follows last week’s announcement that the company was changing its algorithm to prioritize friends and family over content from publishers and brands.
