Yeah, you read that right.

Snap Inc is teaming up with TV giant NBCUniversal to create a new digital content studio based in California. It will work on making original scripted video content for the app, with a team of filmmakers and programmers.

This is your average news. What a load of tosh.

The shows are said to be about five minutes long.

The app has already seen some limited success for NBCUniversal when it produced a unique version of The Voice US for Snapchat. It was even nominated for an Emmy this year. The series featured clips of the coaches and auditions videos submitted by users.

The ‘Shows’ section changes daily, with fresh news, gossip and videos.

This new feature will appear under the ‘Shows’ section of the app, which already plays clips from news sites and things like Buzzfeed or IGN.

Anything will do so long as I don’t have to see the Daily Mail reporting on anything.

We get it, Kim K has a large bottom, you don’t need to keep telling us!

A few weeks ago, it was revealed that many teenagers were using social media apps like Snapchat to sell and purchase drugs.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
