How to Stop Publishing a Facebook News Feed
Facebook's News Feed allows you to post status updates and links to stories or media that you want to share with your Facebook friends. When you post an update or link, it is published to your friends' News Feed, which appears in their main Facebook screen. You can eliminate an unwanted News Feed post from your main Facebook wall, or you can edit your Facebook settings to completely eliminate your Facebook News Feed.
