Reason Staff | 3.7.2013 7:48 AM

Facebook is planning to make its first major change to the news feed since it launched in 2006, and according to reports, we could see multiple news feeds based on categories, such as Instagram photos and music your friends are listening to and artist updates.

Ahead of the big press event the social network is holding on Thursday, TechCrunch is reporting that, in addition to several news feeds, we'll be seeing larger photos and image-based ads.
