The Los Angeles Times announced Friday that millions of viewers will now be able to stream The Times’ short-form videos on Hulu.

Hulu, based in Los Angeles, is an online video service that has television shows, clips and movies on its website. It also offers a monthly subscription service, available on smart TVs, gaming consoles, mobile phones and tablets.

Jennifer Collins, Tribune Publishing’s vice president of digital development, said distributing the content on Hulu’s “innovative platform opens exciting new possibilities.”

The series, released under The Times’ new Originals banner, is part of the company’s ongoing effort to expand its video storytelling.

Last week, The Times announced that it would begin its accelerated push into video journalism with Los Angeles Times Documentaries, which will air exclusively on DirecTV’s Audience Network channel. The series kicks off Saturday with “A Soldier’s Wife,” a documentary developed through more than a year of reporting by a Times reporter and photographer.

The Times’ Hulu playlist categories include entertainment, food & travel, sports and documentaries, with additional categories expected to be added.

More than 70 videos, including “The Envelope Emmy Roundtables” and “Gold 101,” are available for streaming. The content is also available on latimes.com/video.

Terms of the Hulu arrangement were not disclosed.
