The global rise of streaming and creator-led content has fundamentally transformed how people get informed, and which voices define the conversations that shape society, culture, and politics. Established news publishers are now joined by a growing array of voices — independent journalists, creators, and podcasters — who are introducing fresh mixes of reporting, commentary, and explanatory journalism that today’s audiences seek.
YouTube is at the forefront of this transformation, delivering a video-first news platform that offers a wide range of perspectives, across the most engaging formats and surfaces – from long-form video to connected TV and podcasts.
Our products help users find the stories and information they want – from national headlines and events to in-depth coverage of global trends and politics.
There were more than 13 billion average monthly global views of high quality news content on YouTube on Connected TVs in Q1 of 2025.
