🚨 NEW STUDY: 𝕏 IS THE NEWS | WE ARE THE MEDIA
A Pew study confirms it: X is the heartbeat of modern media.
85% of news influencers—the citizen journalists redefining how we consume information—are active on 𝕏.
These voices, 77% of whom have no ties to legacy media, are independent storytellers shaping narratives, breaking news, and sparking global conversations.
Nearly 40% of adults under 30 now turn to influencers for news, leaving traditional outlets in the dust.
And it’s not just youth—1 in 5 Americans rely on citizen journalists to stay informed.
The impact? 65% of users say influencers on X help them better understand civic issues.
A striking 70% feel the news here is different—fresh, unfiltered, and outside the mainstream bubble.
X isn’t just a platform anymore.
It’s a revolution.
On 𝕏, we are the media.
