  • Hi, I'm Solana Pine.

  • I'm the director of video at the New York Times.

  • For years, my team has made videos that bring you closer to big news moments.

  • Videos by Times journalists that have the expertise to help you understand what's going on.

  • Now, we're bringing those videos to you in the Watch tab in the New York Times app.

  • It's a dedicated video feed where you know you can trust what you're seeing.

  • All the videos there are free for anyone to watch.

  • You don't have to be a subscriber.

  • Download the New York Times app to start watching.

  • I have a story about technology saving my ass.

  • Let's hear it.

  • So I was on a flight across the country yesterday with my kid,

  • and I made a huge mistake, parenting wise.

  • I did not understand that when you download things off of Netflix to use on a kid's iPad,

  • for example, during a long flight, they expire.

  • They'll stay there forever.

  • So we got on the plane, and I pull out the iPad,

  • which is the only way to take a flight with a three-year-old.

  • If other parents are...

  • doing this without it, God bless.
