Photo messaging service Snapchat is launching its own online tech magazine, Real Life, reports Venture Beat.
The company has revealed that they will be publishing around one article every weekday on the subject of technology, starting on June 27.
Snapchat employee and social media critic Nathan Jurgenson commented that, “Real Life will publish essays, arguments, and narratives about living with technology.”
“It won’t be a news site with gadget reviews or industry gossip. It will be about how we live today and how our lives are mediated by devices.”
The magazine will also cover diverse subjects such as beauty, power, privacy, and relationships, with Jurgenson adding that, “we aim to address the political uses of technology, including some of the worst practices both inside and outside the tech industry itself.”
