The Attention Economy Navigator, July 2026 w/ Francesca Fiorentini

This week we are building July's Attention Economy Navigator, our guide to what you should be paying more attention to, and what you can probably pay less attention to. And why those stories might not be what you’d assume. Joining to help build this month's Attention Economy Navigator in real time is comedian and host of The Bitchuation Room, Francesca Fiorentini. We are also joined this week by Convergence's Senior Multimedia Producer, Josh Elstro. You can also read the article version on the Convergence website, or watch the panel plot these stories in real time on YouTube.
