The episode discusses a hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise, the death of media titan Ted Turner, and workplace changes due to AI.
P.M. Edition for May 6. A patient in Switzerland has been hospitalized with a strain of hantavirus after returning from a cruise to South America. Three people who traveled on that cruise ship have died. Journal reporter Xavier Martinez discusses what’s concerning about the virus and what health officials are doing about it. Plus, media titan Ted Turner, who created CNN and shaped the cable-TV industry, has died at 87. And as some companies lay off workers because of AI, others are keeping their headcount, but they expect workers to do more. We hear from WSJ workplace reporter Chip Cutter about what that means for their workers. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Learn more about your ad choices.
