Vulture, the culture and news website, announced that it will begin to produce content on Snapchat's discover platform. Snapchat's discover platform is a hub for content, tailored for mobile devices, from brands and news outlets around the world.

Many publishers have started utilizing Snapchat not only because of its video first focus, but also its popularity with younger audiences. These audiences have grown up in an age of video and it truly is the dominant form of communication for them. More and more, publishers are taking their video operations seriously, and finding new ways to reach audiences -- including Snapchat. Vulture recently posted video producer jobs for the Snapchat project, which you can check out on TheVJ.com/Jobs.

From ADWEEK:

In a statement, Michael Silberman, digital general manager of New York Media (Vulture’s publisher), commented:

Vulture’s smart but playful take on the world of entertainment has a sense of fun that’s a great fit with Snapchat Discover. The platform brings Vulture to a new, growing audience, and offers us the chance to learn more about the stories that resonate with Snapchatters.

Vulture’s Publisher Story will launch on Snapchat in the U.S. “in the coming weeks.”

TV News’ Original Sin

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
