Snapchat is full of "news".

I just opened the app and swiped one panel to the right, here are some of the "news" cards I can view:

  The New York Times
  The Washington Post
  Wall Street Journal
  Daily Mail
  ESPN
  NFL
  NBA
  National Geographic
  Bleacher Report
  Wired
  BuzzFeed
  IGN
  VICE
  Mashable
  Cosmopolitan

It seems you’re partially right. My bad.

Between posts from my contacts, there’s seemingly a “featured” section which I’ve unconsiously have ignored, just like I inadvertently started to ignore banner ads in the 90s.

My mind just don’t see noise like that any more.

I guess that’s not exactly representative though and some people may be using this weird news-feature in what is essentially an IM app.
