BuzzFeed, iHeartRadio Join Snapchat's List of Publishers

It’s official: BuzzFeed is now publishing on Snapchat.

BuzzFeed and iHeartRadio were added to Snapchat’s list of Discover partners on Monday, replacing existing publishers Yahoo and Warner Music. Re/code reported last week that BuzzFeed had been tapped to join the list of Discover publishers.

It’s a sign that Snapchat is indeed bringing on publishers that aren’t just looking for a young audience (e.g. Yahoo) but already reach one (e.g. BuzzFeed). It moved the Discover content to a second page within the app earlier this month to help make it more prominent, and bringing on BuzzFeed should also help improve traffic. Discover serves as a revenue stream for Snapchat, so adding a publisher with 200 million unique readers every month is a pretty logical choice.

Look for Snapchat to add a second group of new publishers later this summer, including Vox.com. (Vox Media, publisher of Vox.com, also owns Re/code.)

Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox

Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.
