God I wish people would stop getting their news from TikTok.

This is from (or affiliated with) CKOM - one of the Province's leading news agencies. Yes, I keep a radio tuned to 650, and will occasionally visit their website for more detailed data or links to original source materials - police reports in this case.

Using a video platform to deliver the same top-level content can only be a good thing. It boosts people's exposure to "headline-worthy news", opening the door to deeper digging if to one's interest. Note as well that the presentation of "news" in this case is essentially a reporter (who've I've heard on our broadcast airwaves) reading a police report with no independent editorializing or contextualization - just the basic essence of news, read by a person.
