Snap is in early talks with media companies about powering a dedicated news section inside the Snapchat app, according to six people familiar with the talks.
The planned news section represents a do-over of sorts for its efforts to present real-time, breaking news from a handful of trusted news partners. While news from those partners is currently mixed in with a jumble of other content, Snap’s planned news “tab” will be a distinct area within the Discover section of the social media app, said the people, all of whom requested anonymity because the plans are confidential.
