In the digital age we are constantly receiving global news from around the world, from our hometowns, etc. It makes it hard when so much is happening in the world, it starts to make people overwhelmed and upset. I have struggled with this myself, I have let the things that I read on the internet consume me and influence my feelings. This article helps provide me with the resources to combat this and not feel guilty for shutting things out. We are human and we were not made to have the entire world at the touch of our fingers.

I find it so intriguing how we have began turning to short form media for our news consumption. It seems as we get more familiar with digital media and constant accessibility to everything, we want speed. Younger users who use Tiktok for their news consumption use it because its accessible to them, but also the videos are easier to digest and shorter than a regular news cast.

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of getting my news from Tiktok, but I can say that there have been times where I have become more socially aware due to information I collected from using the site.
