Now Tik Tok is not just a pastime app but 40 young boys and girls are watching it for news and a large number are also turning to Instagram. Thus, the trend of viewing news and information is taking a new dimension.
The Reuters Institute has released a 38-page report on this trend, which can be viewed here, which also mentions the changing nature of TikTok. But what is interesting is that the young generation follows internet ‘celebrities’ for information and news rather than regular popular media outlets to stay up to date with the latest information.
