A day shaped by aftershocks, both literal and institutional: in Egypt, a moderate earthquake of around magnitude 5.3 to 5.6 struck near Suez, rattling Cairo and prompting the Egyptian Red Crescent to activate emergency measures, though early reports indicated no casualties or major damage. In the media world, Columbia Journalism School moved to absorb some of broadcast journalism’s recent turbulence, naming former “60 Minutes” correspondents Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi as journalists in residence for 2026–27 after their high-profile departures from CBS. The industry also marked the death of British broadcaster and journalist Rod Liddle at 66 following a short illness, with tributes emphasizing both his public career and private influence. And in technology, Hughes Satellite Systems sought Chapter 11 protection, underscoring how decisively the broadband market is being reshaped by Starlink’s rise.
