Good Morning TikTok

An increasing percentage of US adults, especially younger ones, regularly get their news on TikTok, which is a short-form video sharing platform. The share of 18 to 29-year-olds who say they regularly get their news on TikTok increased from 9% in 2020 to 32% in 2023. In older age cohorts, TikTok use is lower but also there an upward trend is visible. This contrasts with several other large social media platforms where consumption of news is declining. For instance, in 2020 54% of Facebook users said they regularly read the news from there, but this has since decreased to 43% in 2023.
