How Vertical Video is Changing News: Introducing Shorts View
July 16, 2025

The rise of TikTok and Instagram Reels has-been-changed how people, especially younger audiences, consume content. The vertical video format is no longer a niche—it's a dominant form of media. Recognizing this shift, we developed the "Shorts View" feature within IntelliNews to bring the same engaging, snackable format to news consumption.

Shorts View presents news stories in a visually-driven, vertical carousel. Each card combines a powerful image, a headline, and a concise summary, allowing you to get the essence of a story with a simple swipe. It’s designed for the moments when you only have a few minutes to spare but still want to stay informed.

This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about accessibility. By presenting news in a format that feels native to the mobile experience, we can engage a wider audience that might not be reached by traditional news websites. It’s part of our broader strategy to meet users where they are and deliver information in the most effective and engaging way possible.
