Teens are turning to “flop accounts” on Instagram for news, over traditional outlets. Ypulse data backs that up: 67% of 13-17-year-olds told us that they get news from Instagram. Flop accounts call out foul play (fails, or flops) in Hollywood, on YouTube, and increasingly, in politics. As concern over fake news rises, one 17-year-old explains that “it’s a lot of people completing these things together, not just one person, which makes us trust it more.” (The Atlantic)
