The Wall Street Journal has joined Snapchat. But can this legacy media publisher compete with more millennial-savvy competitors like Vice or Cosmo? We asked a few Snapchat enthusiasts whether they’d check out the new channel.
“To me, I’m a teenager [and] it’s boring, but the older crowd might be into it,” said one millennial.

I’m not trying to be sad when I’m trying to snap something funny.”
