Abstract

Along with the development of technology, media has changed a lot. In different era, people use different media. In the twentieth century, Walter Cronkite, the CBS evening news anchor, homogenized people on their knowledge, gave authentic news to the citizens, and unified people to be together. Television shows also played a role. In the twenty-first century, more new medias come out. People are allowed to do more on one medium. This article will compare and contrast television of twentieth-century and tiktok in the field of homogeneity, unifying power, and authenticity in order to give recommendations for modern social apps. Conclusion is that TikTok shows more unreliable news, appears fake beauties, and unified weakly.
