Why vertical video series are taking off on mobile phones

Season 2025 Episode 11 | 6m 08s

Most of the video entertainment we watch these days isn’t at the movies, on TV or even on a computer — it’s on a smartphone. To cater to these changing habits, companies are turning out bite-sized soap operas for phone viewing. Ej Dickson, a senior writer at New York Magazine covering culture, joins Ali Rogin to discuss.

Major corporate funding for the PBS News Hour is provided by BDO, BNSF, Consumer Cellular, American Cruise Lines, and Raymond James. Funding for the PBS NewsHour Weekend is provided by Consumer Cellular and Cunard Cruise Line. For a complete list of funders for the PBS NewsHour and PBS NewsHour weekend, click here.
