No more traditional journalism?

We love using social media, and the way we consume news is changing at an incredible pace! A recent study just revealed a major shift in news consumption habits as Gen Z & Millennials are opting to TikTok for their daily dose of what’s going on!

The study shows a huge decrease in users accessing news through traditional websites, TV, and apps! The younger generations are turning to social media, search engines, and now TikTok! Social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok are the new go-to. TikTok is the king as it had a big growth with 20% of 18-24-year-olds relying on it for news.

Not just that, but users are generally less interested in traditional news, and are increasingly following fun content rather than what is up!

What’s your favorite social media platform for news?
