Politico: Peter Hamby, widely recognized by Beltway insiders as one of CNN’s best political reporters, is leaving the network to join Snapchat as head of news. The rapidly growing social media app has been moving toward news with a feature called Snapchat Stories, which allows users to create stories through video clips, and Snapchat Discover, a similar feature for news and entertainment organizations like CNN, Vice and National Geographic. Between the two, Snapchat is sitting on seemingly limitless user-generated content that can be used to offer viewers an inside perspective on everything from the Coachella music festival to the 2016 campaign trail.
