Here's what the research shows:
Popular News Accounts on TikTok
The most viral news account on TikTok is the British tabloid Daily Mail, which regularly posts sensational news clips, though its content leans toward clickbait with high viral potential Fwiw. Other major accounts include:
Legacy Media:
CBS News and NBC News both have strong presences on TikTok, sharing high-quality news clips from their TV programming Fwiw
BBC News has a TikTok account that reports on major news events Interhacktives
Digital-First News Organizations:
NowThis, Meidas Touch, COURIER, More Perfect Union, and The Recount are among liberal-leaning news accounts that combine rapid-fire news clips with original content Fwiw
Individual Creators:
V Spehar (@underthedesknews) has millions of followers for quick takes on news with a liberal focus Reuters Institute
Important Considerations
About 52% of TikTok users under 30 use the app to keep up with politics and news Pew Research Center, but there are significant concerns about the reliability of news on the platform. Notably absent from TikTok are outlets like POLITICO and AXIOS, and right-wing outlets like Breitbart and Newsmax, with even Fox News having minimal presence Fwiw.
For the most reliable political news, I'd recommend supplementing TikTok with established news sources and fact-checking organizations, and being aware that most TikTok political content skews heavily toward either entertainment value or particular political perspectives rather than neutral reporting.
