TikTok appears as a source of news for 43 pct of users in 2023: Pew Research Center

The percentage of TikTok users who on a daily basis access news through the app increased to 43 percent in 2023 from 22 percent a year earlier, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center, which discovered half of US adults get at least some news from social media.

News organizations are competing with TikTok and other social media platforms for consumers’ attention and advertisers’ budgets, with many finding ways to engage TikTok’s large and coveted Gen Z audience.

Pew’s analysis of news consumption by Americans, based on a survey of 8,842 US adults conducted from Sept. 25 to Oct. 1, 2023, found news websites or apps were used by 67 percent of those surveyed.

Meta-owned Facebook is the most popular social media platform for news, with 30 percent of Americans saying they regularly access news there, followed by YouTube with 26 percent, Instagram with 16 percent, and TikTok with 14 percent, Pew found.

News consumption on Facebook persists despite Meta’s efforts to reduce the prevalence of news and other civic content on its platforms in recent years as it faces regulatory pressure in key markets around the world.

Regular news consumers on Nextdoor, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are more likely to be women, Pew found, while regular news consumers on Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and Alphabet-owned YouTube are more likely to be men.

Under owner Elon Musk, regular news consumers on X, the platform formerly named Twitter, are roughly split politically, with 46 percent Republican or Republican-leaning, and 49 percent Democrat or Democratic-leaning, according to Pew.
