Whether you're trying to go after the masses on TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat or YouTube, the common theme is that for ads to do well on the platform, they must be "authentic." Whatever that means. Additional coverage: - This week's Digiday+ Future of TV Briefing looks at how news organizations plan to cover next week's U.S. midterm elections on TikTok.
- A study by MMA Global found that responsibilities for chief digital officers have spread horizontally across most businesses, and they are charged with improving business performance as much as transforming business practices.
- News apps and aggregators are rolling out new features ahead of the midterm elections to improve the way content is packaged.

- You would think seeing an ad everywhere is plain annoying, but research shows people actually engage better when they see an ad on several platforms.
