Our history book starts with 'Once upon a time, we beat Barcelona 11-1.' Our social media bio now has a new, slightly smaller, chapter: 4-1😉.

The first rule of Sevilla vs. Barcelona is: We always update our scoreline. From 11-1 to 4-1... we're getting more efficient! 😂"

The Social Media Giants Driving Global News

Over the past five years, social media platforms have continued to redefine how people access and consume news globally. A comparison of 2020 and 2025 usage statistics highlights some remarkable shifts in audience preferences. Facebook has maintained its stronghold, growing from 36% in 2020 to 38% in 2025, proving that despite emerging competitors, it remains a central hub for news seekers. Meanwhile, YouTube has experienced significant momentum, rising from 23% in 2020 to 35% in 2025, establishing itself as a powerful multimedia news outlet.

The story of TikTok is perhaps the most transformative. In 2020, only 3% of users reported turning to TikTok for news. Fast forward to 2025, and that figure has surged to 20%. This shift demonstrates how short-form video content resonates with younger audiences and challenges traditional platforms in delivering real-time updates. Similarly, Instagram’s growth from 11% to 20% underscores the increasing importance of visually driven news consumption, where reels and stories allow for bite-sized, engaging updates.

Interestingly, not all platforms have shared in this upward trajectory. X (formerly Twitter), once known as the heartbeat of breaking news, has declined from 15% in 2020 to 12% in 2025. This dip suggests that while Twitter/X still plays a vital role in political and global news discussions, its dominance as a go-to news platform has weakened in the face of stronger competition and shifting content preferences. These shifts suggest a broader transformation in the digital news ecosystem, where visual and video-based platforms are beginning to dominate.

What does this mean for the future of journalism and media organizations? The data shows that news providers must evolve to meet audiences where they are—prioritizing video formats, mobile-first experiences, and visually compelling content. The rise of YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram highlights the importance of storytelling that is both fast and visually engaging, while Facebook’s resilience demonstrates the value of community-driven news sharing. As we head into the next decade, the platforms shaping the news narrative will continue to evolve, but one thing is clear: social media is no longer just a distribution channel—it is the newsroom itself.

With an area of approximately 30.4 million Km², Africa is the world's second largest Continent. However, the most common map projection, the Mercator Projection, makes it look smaller.

Africa can actually fit 30 countries including large and contiguous countries like the USA, China, India and most countries in Europe.

The visualization below, shows how the 30 countries drawn from all other continents fits well inside Africa.

9.United Holds On: Despite the late pressure and seven minutes of stoppage time, United's defense, led by solid performances from players like Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt, held firm to secure the 2-1 victory.

10. A Crucial Win for Amorim: The victory was a significant one for Manchester United and their manager, Ruben Amorim, as it provided a much-needed boost and helped to relieve pressure after a shaky start to their Premier League season.
