Credit: Snapchat Impressions are not the same as attention. That was the message from Snapchat at a recent Snap Champions session at Snap HQ, where the platform told agency professionals that platforms built for scrolling are producing a sea of sameness and running out of road with younger audiences. Recent data from Fujifilm's latest Forecast Trends Report revealed 53% of Australians now scroll on their devices out of habit rather than genuine interest, with nearly half saying they retain very little of what they consume. Snapchat's argument is that brands chasing reach on those platforms are increasingly buying impressions without engagement. Snapchat's Senior Creative Strategist for Australia and New Zealand, Jess Gilliland, said the platform is built around the opposite behaviour to a typical feed. “Snapchat really is a lean-in platform,” she said. The app opens directly to the camera, content disappears rather than accumulates, and sharing defaults to private rather than public. The average Australian user opens the app 40 times a day - not to broadcast, but to connect with friends and family. That depth of habitual engagement is what Snapchat says sets the stage for its attention formula, built across four key product areas: Chat, Camera, Content

How artificial intelligence is reshaping the purchase journey. 15.07.26 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the shopper experience, but not by replacing the human element. Instead, AI is emerging as a powerful ‘enhancement layer’ that makes consumers smarter and faster while they retain ultimate decision-making authority. Drawing on the latest research across 15 global markets, this paper reveals an AI paradox: while 27% of AI-aware consumers already use these tools for product research, a significant trust deficit remains, with only 9% currently allowing autonomous purchases. With 71% of people believing AI should be approached with caution, trust – not technology – is the primary driver of adoption. The winners won’t have the most advanced AI or the most traditional approach. They’ll orchestrate both by using AI to eliminate friction while preserving human moments that build preference, trust, and loyalty. Our Ipsos Views paper ‘Shopping With AI’ explores where AI is gaining traction, where shoppers are drawing firm boundaries, and why trust remains the critical variable. We offer practical guidance for brands and retailers navigating a future that demands both digital innovation and human connection – a “both/and” strategy, not “either/or”.

A former lawyer for the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has sued the department, saying her constitutional rights were violated when she was fired. Lindsey Phoenix filed the suit against former Missouri Commissioner of Education Dr. Karla Eslinger. Phoenix had been legal counsel for DESE since 2023. The lawsuit claims that Phoenix was fired after the September 10, 2025, assassination of Charlie Kirk. The suit states that Phoenix had reposted a meme in a story on her private Instagram. The lawsuit states that the meme said, “something to the effect of, 'delulu is no longer the solulu. what we need is revolulu. with a side of assassinunu.'" Phoenix’s Instagram account was not visible to the public and did not identify her as working for DESE. It was posted as a story, which only lasts for 24 hours. During that time, someone she knew from high school was offended by the post and reported it to Dr. Eslinger. On September 17, 2025, Phoenix was fired. Phoenix’s lawyers point out that Missouri law allows for state workers to take part in political campaigns and political party activities, and that her supervisor had told her that she had not violated

An Illinois woman has been arrested 25 years after a newborn baby—known to the community as baby Jacob Hope—was discovered in a bag and tossed into a dumpster behind a grocery store.  Jennifer Lebron, 48, is now facing two counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the infant’s death after investigators used genetic genealogy to identify her as a suspect, according to a joint statement from the Round Lake Beach Police Department and Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office. “I was personally at the scene of this incident in 2001, and the memory of that day has remained with me throughout my career,” Round Lake Beach Police Chief Ryan Rodriguez remarked. “Jacob Hope deserved answers, dignity, and justice. Today’s arrest represents an important step toward accountability for this innocent child, and I’m grateful to everyone whose persistence and collaboration made it possible.”  What Happened to Baby Jacob Hope?  Round Lake Beach Police officers were called to the scene of a grocery store on Rollins Road on August 26, 2001 after the newborn was found dead inside a bag in a dumpster behind the store, according to the statement.
