OK
I know
Millennials, who are now really middle aged, like to shoot in vertical.

They do it for IGTV or for Snap.
But it is wrong.

This can often be the cause of debate in some circles. (Not mine).

But when we do the bootcamps, the question of vertical video often comes up - like it did today here at Oxford. 

So thanks for participant Bob App, who turned us on to this answer to the Vertical vs. Horizontal question

TV News’ Original Sin
January 08, 2025

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
