About this listen

 No One's Reading This is an INMA podcast, hosted by Kerstin Hasse, as part of the Young Audiences Initiative, supported by the Knight Foundation. Kerstin talks to media leaders, creators, and voices from outside the legacy news bubble about the one question everyone's trying to figure out: how do you actually reach younger and new audiences? Video strategies, podcast monetization, the creator economy, new revenue models — real conversations with people who are doing the work, and yes, sometimes a playbook or two. https://www.inma.org/Copyright 2026 INMA Economics Management Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success

    How The Economist Cracked Vertical Video — From TikTok Launch to Subscriber Strategy
    Feb 10 2026

    A 180-year-old magazine is thriving with vertical video. And the way they did it is not what you'd expect.

    In this episode, I'm talking to Liv Moloney, Head of Video at The Economist, about the full journey — from launching on TikTok in 2022 with a single video editor to 360 million video views across platforms in 2025, and then bringing it all back into their own app.

    We talk about why The Economist took TikTok seriously when many legacy newsrooms still dismissed it, how they navigate putting individual faces on camera in a publication famous for having no bylines, who's actually watching (younger and more female than you'd think), and whether vertical video is really a "young audience play" — or something much bigger.
