Magazine B Issue No. 87 explores TikTok, the global short-form video platform that transformed mobile entertainment and reshaped how digital content is created and discovered.
DESCRIPTION
Launched internationally by technology company ByteDance in 2017, TikTok distinguished itself through a recommendation algorithm based primarily on users’ interests rather than their existing social networks. Its vertical-video format and intuitive creative tools enabled users to watch, produce and reinterpret content with ease.
Published in 2021, this issue examines TikTok’s rapid rise as an entertainment platform and its influence on music, marketing and internet culture. It looks at creative features such as Stitch and Duet, together with the challenges and participatory trends that helped ordinary users reach global audiences.
Presented through Magazine B’s distinctive combination of interviews, photography and editorial storytelling, this English-language edition offers a detailed snapshot of TikTok during an important period in the platform’s development.
