News on Social Media Platforms

Apps like TikTok and Instagram can be compared because they both have short videos that can share news. They are called reels on Instagram, but TikTok is an app with just videos, sometimes only solely informational videos. Other Social Media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube all have ways where you can post opinions. Platforms like The New York Times and CNN are mainly known for investigating journalism or important news that comes up in the world. Social media apps come with news that often involves drama with celebrities.
