Showing what happens inside the newspaper's newsroom is a great way to bring readers closer to the brand. More than quality information products, the public at TikTok wants to see authenticity in the people who make up the institution: this personalization allows users to identify themselves with journalists - and, by table, feel closer to the newspaper itself.
This does not mean, however, that journalists should act as influencers and produce content on any topics in their daily lives. The idea is to show the daily lives of journalists who work there; that is, what happens to these people as journalists. Content that you personalize beyond these borders may even be suitable for TikTok - but it may fit more into each other's personal profiles than on the official page of the newspaper.
