Levi Ismail, Nashville News
Sure, Levi Ismail could just drop old TV segments on his account and call it a day, but the NewsChannel 5 reporter understands what actually makes TikTok, er, tick. He knows the app’s preferred tones and tenors and matches its visual language perfectly — plus, he drops some genuinely great stories on there. A highlight is his two-and-a-half-minute “vertical only” story about a former police chief of Millersville offering to sell a police commission card (which grants a degree of law enforcement authority) to a license plate reader salesman.
