Snapchat is Starting Up a Digital Magazine about Technology
By Lauren Stacy • June 21, 2016
Snapchat is starting a digital magazine called Real Life that will cover the world of technology, the company announced last week. Instead of focusing on the news of the industry, Real Life will feature “essays, arguments, and narratives about living with technology,” according to a blog post from Nathan Jurgenson, a Snapchat employee and social media theorist who will serve as Real Life’s editor-in-chief. Curiously, the publication will live on the web, not in the app. Jurgenson says that Real Life will publish one piece of writing each weekday, “though we may eventually expand to other mediums and formats as well.”
