Pew defines 'news influencers' as those with over 100,000 followers who consistently post news-related content on platforms like Facebook and TikTok, gaining trust among their followers.
Kevin Twomey from NewsWhip described news influencers as 'the new New York Times,' highlighting their impact on news consumption, even if their work diverges from traditional journalism.
Dylan Page, creator behind News Daddy on TikTok, expresses his mission as an effort to 'revolutionize the way news is consumed,' indicating a shift in news delivery.
