Today we are talking about vertical video! Why? Because phones! So what do you do with it? How can newsrooms handle them in articles? What do you do with videos after live streams via mobile apps? What about Snapchat?

Perceptive Kingstonians might have noticed that "Untitled Head," a piece that was part of the Kingston Sculpture Biennial, has been replaced by a piece that was once located nearby within the property of what used to be the King's Inn.
