Thanks for this. I'm also hearing about it for the first time here and now.

I read the newspaper once a day in the morning, HN a couple of times during the day, that's it.

No other news or social media at all. I get a lot done. I recognize this lifestyle isn't for everyone.

It's okay. If you are in the West (Europe) you probably heard of this. If you are in the US or Australia, probably not. I am in SEA and no one has any idea of this going on. It goes the same way though, the Middle-East doesn't hear much about earthquakes in the Philippines or Indonesia.

The only exception I can think of is Japan. It seems everyone is aware of Japan earthquakes/Tsunamis.

What newspaper do you read, that didn't cover this news today?

A printed copy of the FT that is delivered to my home. I'm sure that news of the quake will be in tomorrow morning's edition.
