I'll search for information about trustworthy political news sources on TikTok.Finding truly "trustworthy" political news on TikTok is challenging, since the platform is dominated by influencers and commentary rather than traditional journalism. That said, here are some options across different categories:
**Established News Organizations:**
- The Washington Post has over 1.2 million followers and creates engaging, creative content
- CBS News and NBC News have strong TikTok presences with high-quality clips from their TV programming
- BBC News maintains an account focused on reliable reporting
**Liberal-leaning outlets that have done well:**
- NowThis, Meidas Touch, COURIER, More Perfect Union, and The Recount combine news clips with originally produced content
- V Spehar (@underthedesknews) has millions of followers for quick news takes with a liberal focus
**Notable absences:**
Popular outlets like POLITICO and AXIOS have minimal presence on TikTok, as do right-wing outlets like Breitbart and Newsmax. Even Fox News has very limited TikTok activity
**Important context:**
About 77% of news influencers on TikTok have no past or present affiliation with news media organizations, meaning most political content comes from independent commentators rather than professional journalists. On TikTok, 52% of posts by news influencers focus on U.S. government, politics, or elections.
For the most reliable information, I'd recommend following established news organizations' TikTok accounts while also consuming news from their primary platforms, and being critical about content from individual influencers who may lack journalistic standards or fact-checking processes.
