TikTok as Source of Information

 According to Forbes magazine, Tiktok is a platform that has touched on important issues such as the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQA+ rights and more (Paoletti, 2022). 

The content that this platform has is extensive because, in addition to being an entertainment application, people also use it as a source of information; this is thanks to the fact that the spread of news is faster and more viral.

TikTok refers to itself as a platform that is ''not just for entertainment, but also for learning something new, picking up a new skill, or just being inspired to do something you've never done before.'' (Paoletti, 2022). 

TikTok, as a source of information, is a tool that facilitates teachers, doctors and specialists from different branches so that they can connect with society and thus transmit an educational message.

Types Of Educational Content On TikTok: 

  1. Consistent Formats And Video Series: TikTok works as a tool to focus on certain specific topics. The tools for making videos by adding images, illustrations, fonts, music and more make it easy for the content creator.
  2.  Short Videos With Voiceovers: The creation of short videos can be more efficient since it does not bore the audience, voiceovers allow the content creator to connect with the audience in a more practical and direct way.
  3. Modern Trends: Following current trends and extending them to educational content can help people learn through already-known formats.

    I like your topic that TikTok works as an information source but we cannot totally rely on this app for knowledge. Today it is more used for amusement purposes than any good content.

How it changed the way we’re consuming media

Image
Access to information about what is happening in the world has always been available through different sources such as newspapers, radio, and television, but as society has changed, the methods of consuming information have also. Social networks have recently taken a very important role in society, this is because a large part of the population has them. Among the main social networks most used worldwide are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok (Lua, n.d.) Despite the popularity of this platform being very great, one of the main cons of TikTok is that for the very reason that anyone can upload all kinds of content, the information sources may not be true and people will find false information.
