truly personalized experience while enhancing the connection among
the NOWNESS community.

included becoming a mobile-first video channel, launching global
features through a Chinese-language site and the addition of video
subtitles in nine languages, advancing functionality and community
features, and increasing personalization, including the video
rating function we unveiled today. We look forward to continue
offering the most engaging and up-to-the-moment exclusive digital
