The Program Is the First of Four New Programs, Part of the Acclaimed PaleyImpact Series
Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism

The Event Will Take Place at The Paley Museum on Tuesday, July 28

NEW YORK, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Paley Center for Media announced today that it will host a new event spotlighting Jewish life, culture, creativity, and resilience in America today. Beyond the Headlines: Jewish Life in America Today is part of the acclaimed PaleyImpact series Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism and will take place on Tuesday, July 28 at 6:30 pm at The Paley Museum on 25 West 52 Street.

The event is the first of four programs made possible through the generous support of Michael Kassan, Founder & CEO, 3C Ventures, and Richard Edelman, CEO, Edelman. Kassan and Edelman will support the next four conversations in the series, enabling The Paley Museum to continue convening influential voices to explore how media can educate, inform, and foster greater understanding to help combat antisemitism.

Beyond the Headlines: Jewish Life in America Today will bring together leading voices from business, culture, faith, and journalism to explore how media and storytelling shape public understanding of Jewish life in America. At a moment when Jewish identity is often framed primarily through the lens of crisis, the program will expand the conversation by highlighting contemporary Jewish experiences and the richness, diversity, creativity, and resilience of Jewish communities, while examining how Jewish stories are told, represented, and understood across today’s media and cultural landscape. The conversation will consider how storytelling and visibility shape perception in the public sphere, and how they can serve as tools in challenging stereotypes, countering antisemitism, and deepening public understanding.

Taking part in the event are Michael Kassan, Richard Edelman, Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, Senior Rabbi of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, and moderator Bianna Golodryga, Anchor and Senior Global Affairs Analyst at CNN, each bringing a unique perspective to the conversation.

“We are proud to continue our acclaimed Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism series with this timely event celebrating the vibrancy of Jewish life in America today,” said Maureen J. Reidy, President & CEO of The Paley Center for Media. “By exploring the powerful role media can play in fostering understanding and combating antisemitism, this program reflects Paley’s ongoing commitment to bringing people together through meaningful dialogue. We are deeply grateful to Michael Kassan and Richard Edelman for their generous support in making these vital conversations possible.”

“The stories we tell—and the conversations we create around them—have the power to shape perspectives and bring people together. At a time when Jewish life is too often viewed through the lens of adversity, it is essential to spotlight the richness, diversity, and vitality of the Jewish experience,” said Michael Kassan. “I am proud to support The Paley Center for Media and this important series, which creates space for meaningful dialogue and demonstrates the positive role media can play in fostering greater understanding.”

“Media plays a profound role in shaping public understanding and building trust. By convening leaders from across journalism, business, faith, and culture, The Paley Center for Media is creating an important forum for conversations that challenge stereotypes, broaden perspectives, and help combat antisemitism, said Richard Edelman. “I am honored to support this series and its mission to encourage thoughtful dialogue and celebrate the resilience and contributions of Jewish communities.”

Launched in 2020, Paley’s Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism series was created to shatter stereotypes, break down barriers, educate audiences, bring people together, and demonstrate how media, in all its forms, can play a powerful role in combating antisemitism. Through candid conversations with leaders from across journalism, entertainment, business, government, academia, and culture, the series examines the critical role media plays in shaping public understanding and combating hate.

This event takes place during The Paley Museum’s milestone 50th anniversary year, which kicked off with the grand reopening of its newly renovated state-of-the-art theaters and reimagined public spaces. The Museum continues to serve as a vibrant cultural hub and a welcoming gathering place for all New Yorkers and visitors alike.

Scripps Local Broadcast Stations Return to DIRECTV

Published

July 11, 2026

Multi-year agreement returns 54 local broadcast stations to customers in 36 metro regions

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DIRECTV today announced a new multi-year agreement that will return 54 local broadcast stations owned and operated by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) to DIRECTV streaming, satellite, and U-verse customers, effective immediately.

The agreement ends a five-week blackout affecting millions of customers across 36 Nielsen DMAs, including Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Nashville, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Tampa-St. Petersburg, and others, with access to local news from their communities, as well as significant cultural events like the annual NBA Finals and NHL Stanley Cup Final, or the ongoing FIFA World Cup.

“We’re grateful to our customers for their patience. Like them, we are frustrated that broadcasters use blackouts as a tool to force us to accept unwarranted rate hikes that consistently exceed normal, inflationary increases, and by a lot,” said Rob Thun, chief content officer at DIRECTV. “At a time when affordability matters more than ever, families are too often asked to pay more while receiving less.

“Local broadcasters were entrusted with serving their communities through local news, weather, emergency information, and hometown sports,” Thun added. “But as ownership becomes concentrated among a handful of ever-larger broadcasters gaining stations across new and within their existing markets, those expanded stations become increasingly powerful and further unbalanced negotiating tools. The more markets and major network affiliations a broadcaster controls, the greater its ability to withhold programming from the very communities it is meant to serve.

“Consumers should never lose access to essential local television because of a carriage dispute. It’s time to modernize the system so it rewards service to local communities—and not consolidated market power—by returning to the original purpose of broadcasting of putting viewers’ interests first,” Thun concluded.

ABOUT DIRECTV

DIRECTV is a premier provider of digital television entertainment in the United States. With a diverse range of programming options and cutting-edge technology, DIRECTV delivers a world-class viewing experience to millions of subscribers.

Market Equities Launches Quote Daddy — Every Quote That Matters, in One Clean Dashboard

Issued on behalf of Quote Daddy

A free, ad-light stock-tracking platform spanning U.S. and Canadian markets launches across desktop and mobile — no paywalls, no credit card.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group Retail investors juggling brokerage apps, charting tools and filing databases have a new free option that consolidates the essentials into one place.

Market Equities Limited today announced the public launch of Quote Daddy, a free stock-tracking platform that pulls live watchlists, interactive charts, SEC filings, news and price alerts into a single dashboard across desktop and mobile. The company is positioning the product against a market-data landscape where much of the same functionality sits behind paywalls.

Quote Daddy covers both U.S. and Canadian markets — NYSE and Nasdaq in the United States, plus TSX, TSX Venture and CSE listings in Canada — and requires no credit card to start. The platform’s pitch is deliberately plain: no paywalls, no clutter, just the markets. One account syncs across a spacious terminal layout on desktop and a fast, tap-friendly app on mobile.

At the core is a live watchlist where every name carries an intraday sparkline and a colour-coded price pill, so a single glance conveys direction and magnitude. Users can build unlimited lists, sort by the day’s gainers or losers in one tap, reorder and rename lists, and attach a private note to any stock that follows them across devices.

Individual stock pages go deeper than most free tools, offering candlestick charts with MA5, MA10 and MA20 moving averages, volume, company profiles and analyst views, insider activity drawn from SEC Form 4 filings, and company filings including 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K documents straight from EDGAR.

Beyond tracking, Quote Daddy layers in a plain-English analysis feature that turns raw numbers into a short briefing — why a stock moved, how its sector is performing, and what the figures mean — alongside retail sentiment tagged bull or bear. The company notes this feature is educational only and not investment advice.

Quote Daddy is available now on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and on web and desktop at http://quotedaddy.com.

SIGNAL OVER NOISE

Signal over noise. Market-data, retail-investing, and fintech headlines move fast — and the crowd often moves first. Eagle Eye is a real-time investor signal-intelligence platform that surfaces sentiment shifts, news flow, and trending tickers as they happen, so you see the move forming instead of reading about it later.
