Snapchat Inc. is ending its daily local stories for cities feature, which pulled together video of everyday activities -- concerts, cute puppies in the park -- shot by users in locales such as New York.
Instead the photo and video-sharing app will focus on so-called live moments -- videos of specific events, like Fourth of July celebrations and the Super Bowl. About 15 curators who worked on the local stories feature will lose their jobs, according to people familiar with the matter.
