TikTok Is Changing How The Media Reports On Pop Culture

There’s an unending flood of discourse on TikTok that’s now making its way to mainstream media, sparking a cycle of TikTok and the media reacting to each other. From Don't Worry Darling Discourse, to expecting access to the knowledge of your fave's sexuality, TikTok creators who are fans of pop culture have taken gossip and turned it into news. And it goes so crazy that the mainstream media feels to acknowledge it. For example, a Journalist for Rolling Stone reports on the fan theory that Taylor Swift is secretly gay. Some Swities then believe since a reputable publication like Rolling Stone reported on it, it gives the theory some validity. But this isn’t how the media works. Lack of media literacy and a rise in TikTok group think is changing both how the media reports on pop culture and how individuals consume and respond to media. Enjoy this episode?
