The journalist and news influencer TikTok powerlist for Africa by Global South World

The 75 most influential social media personalities delivering news on the continent.

ACCRA, GHANA, November 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Global South World, the international media organisation built for today’s world, unveils its 2025 African news powerlist.

Our ranking of the Top 75 Journalists and News Influencers on TikTok in Africa celebrates creators who are redefining how information travels.
This list was developed using data from HypeAuditor, an AI-driven platform that measures influencer performance through its Audience Quality Score (AQS). The AQS evaluates engagement, audience authenticity, and growth dynamics, identifying journalists who combine credibility with a genuine connection to their audiences.

The list features representatives from 18 countries, all of whom use their powerful voices on social media to communicate current affairs information to audiences who may not connect with traditional media.

Topping the list is Nigeria’s @AdaigboGlobal or Emeh Ogechi, who uses her platform to raise awareness about a range of issues including female empowerment and corruption.

“It’s incredibly encouraging to see that my storytelling and media work are resonating with audiences and inspiring meaningful conversations across the continent,” she said.

Second is Vito Gaye, a TV host from Senegal who has managed to transfer his on-air skills across to TikTok. Coumba Sy, a sports presenter, also from Senegal takes the number three spot.

The African news powerlist follows previous versions for Asia and Latin America and reflects Global South World’s mission to celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of countries which traditionally appear only rarely in the international media.

"Compiling this list has allowed me to see the amazing creativity which is happening outside the traditional news space,” said Global South World journalist Lucia Aliaga. “There’s much that mainstream organisations can learn from this new generation of influencers.”

Launched in 2023, Global South World is edited by veteran journalist Ismail Akwei who manages teams in Ghana, La Paz and Manila. It is part of the Impactum Group.
