Marcus Dipaola currently works as a freelance field producer and is based in Brooklyn, New York. According to his bio, he spent 11 years working for mainstream news outlets. Marcus’ works have been used by The New York Times, Xinhua News Agency, ABC News, NBC News, and more. Marcus covered the White House for four years and now anchors the news on TikTok, fundamentally for middle schoolers with learning disabilities.
DiPaola’s TikTok journalism format is a daily 30-to-60-second video clip. One of his most popular TikToks features himself reporting on the U.S. Capitol storming that happened in January 2021. Another popular video from April of 2022 reports on a Russian plane, and it gained over 1 million views. Even though he has no affiliation with any major media outlets, viewers seem to rely on his interpretations of national headlines. “I want to be the translator from mainstream media to teenagers,” DiPaola told the Washington Post.
He began posting on TikTok on the election night of October 2020. As the public eagerly awaited the results while cable news networks were slow to update, he took the opportunity to share the news. DiPaola began posting polling updates every hour using inputs from FiveThirtyEight’s presidential forecast vertical. He quickly went viral after that.

He is probably most recognized for a video he shared that went phenomenally viral on TikTok, in which he introduces his girlfriend Brittany Bell to his followers, on May 4th, which is DiPaola’s birthday. The unusual angle, with her sitting on his lap, and the fact that he did most of the talking, inspired it to become one of the biggest memes on TikTok and the rest of the internet.
The video went viral after users started a duet chain, jokingly pretending that Marcus was holding her hostage. The first-ever duet of the video featured an arm looking like an extension of DiPaola’s, so it appeared like the journalist was holding a toy gun to his girlfriend’s head. It has since spiraled into cinematic greatness all over the internet.
