Dataset of Mexican Newspapers and TV Channels on TikTok

This dataset compiles the presence of traditional Mexican media—specifically 330 daily newspapers and 127 television channels—on TikTok. The dataset was developed as part of a national study on the migration of legacy media to this short video platform. The newspapers were identified using the National Registry of Print Media from the Mexican Ministry of Interior, while the television channels were drawn from the Virtual Channels List of the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT). Each outlet was searched manually on TikTok between June 2021 and September 2022 to verify the existence of official accounts.
