Instagram has become a new destination for news, particularly for millennials and Gen X-ers. Personalities like Mosheh Oinounou have capitalized on this trend, turning their Instagram accounts into successful news platforms. Despite Instagram's attempts to de-emphasize political content, news influencers have gained popularity on the platform.

These news influencers are now being recognized by institutions such as the White House, reflecting the platform's increasing impact on news consumption.
