A growing number of U.S. adults regularly get their news from TikTok, with almost a third of adults between 18 and 29 relying on the video-sharing platform, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center—even as fewer people get news from social media sites like X and Facebook.
KEY FACTS Between 2020 and 2023, the percentage of U.S. adults who reported regularly getting their news from TikTok has increased four-fold from 3% to 14%, according to Pew Research, which surveyed 8,842 adults in late September and early October.
Fifteen percent of U.S. adults between the ages of 30 and 49 reported regularly getting news from the platform, while 7% of U.S. adults between 50 and 64 years old and 3% of adults over 65 said they regularly get their news from TikTok, the survey showed.
Overall, 43% of TikTok users said they regularly get news on the platform—10 points more users than a year ago, and double the percentage of users who said the same in 2020, according to Pew.
Users of X and Facebook are more likely to regularly get their news from those sites than users of TikTok, but the number of users who rely on them for news has declined since 2020, falling from 54% in 2020 to 43% this year for Facebook and 59% to 53% for X, according to Pew.
