The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 560: besieged

On the first day the new official took office, the "Evening News" caused quite a stir in New York City.

Rumors spread in the news industry that the new president, Sean Dickinson, had just arrived at the newspaper, and the old editor-in-chief Steve Ryan was kicked out.

The move was almost unanimously criticized by senior industry players.

Several editorial writers, Tusihu, sadly wrote thousands of articles to analyze this incident, and finally came to the conclusion that some young people have "moral decline".

Although they had never met Mr. Dickinson, they all affirmed that this young man from Leon did not know how to respect the elders. on the head...

However, just as cold and warm currents are intertwined and incompatible, there are completely different voices in the newspaper industry.

The young reporters and editors had already heard of Ryan’s arrogance and staidness, and the story in their eyes was completely different:

The enterprising Mr. Dickinson brought a fresh air of reform to the stale Evening Post.

He dared to stand firm, and did not give in to the threats of the old editor. In the end, on behalf of the new force of the newspaper, he hit the nail on the head and kicked out the editor-in-chief who claimed to be the king.

On one side is "disrespecting the elders" and on the other is "warrior slaying the dragon". The opposite story is circulating in the industry.

However, this is only part of the Evening News turmoil.

What also made people uproar was Sean's personal letter in the evening paper that announced the suspension of publication.

Many people in the industry have already noticed Sean Dickinson's words and are convinced that this young foreign reporter has extraordinary writing ability.

This letter, which took up half of the front page of the "New Testament Evening Post" that day, once again confirmed this point.

Sean wrote down his thoughts and plans for the future to all readers of the "Evening Post" and all walks of life in New Testament with sincere and earnest words.

First of all, he expressed his affirmation and gratitude to the two generations of Mr. Bennett for founding this newspaper, and emphasized that he would definitely inherit the unique temperament and fine traditions of the Evening Post.

Secondly, he also saw the current problems of this newspaper that has been in business for more than half a century.

He will try his best to change the existing disadvantages and present a new look and atmosphere.

In order to highlight this "new", he decided to change the name of the newspaper, and the new name will be announced seven days after the suspension.

In order to be closer to the consumption habits of all citizens, the price of the new "Evening Post" will be reduced to 2 cents, and those long-term readers who have subscribed will directly extend the subscription period according to the price.

In addition, Sean predicted that Steve Ryan's resignation might have a certain impact, so he directly explained the incident in the letter, explaining that the resignation of Ryan's editor-in-chief was due to the two people's "differences in running the newspaper." , and the departure took place in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere...

At the end of the letter, Sean directly stated that his newspaper office recruited a new editor-in-chief from the whole society.

A newspaper's "self-innovation" was on the paper. People in this era are always curious about new things and support the power of progress. Therefore, the readers have certain expectations for the revision of "Evening News".

And those critical colleagues seemed to have found a breakthrough point, and launched another angle of verbal criticism against Xiao En.

Writers in the Non-Penny camp slammed the self-degrading Sean as a "spineless traitor".

The writers of the "Penny Newspaper" camp thought Sean's shock therapy was childish and risky, and the new papers to come out would definitely be neither fish nor fowl.

Others analyzed that Xiao En's act of recruiting the editor-in-chief in his personal letter showed that he was at the end of his rope...

And all of this, Sean saw it in his eyes.

It has been a day since he took office as the president. On the first day of the employees' vacation, Sean was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper in his independent reporter's office in the West Street building...

After reading the current comments criticizing himself, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Olivia Fengling was obviously a little upset after reading a lot of harsh words against Sean. The short-haired girl looked up and saw the deity who was being scolded smiling, so she asked inexplicably, "Why are you laughing?"

"I didn't expect it to be hit on the wrong side." Sean seemed to be reminiscing about a joke that only he could understand.

Moonlight, who came to his office to kill time, took the newspaper off his face and stood up with interest when he heard Xiao En's remarks: "What happened?"

"First..." Sean pointed to the "New Testament Evening Post" on the table where his own handwritten letter was published, "The daily sales volume of the Evening Post before was 2,500 copies, which is worse than the advertising leaflets on the street.

"I didn't expect to make such a fuss. I reprinted it twice today, and sold almost 7,000 copies..."

Everyone knows that Sean fired the old editor-in-chief, and the process was quite dramatic; they also know that the old newspaper "New Testament Evening News" is going to change its name, but no one knows what the new name is; Dickinson wrote a letter that appeared in the last Evening New Testament...

As a result, curious people bought the newspapers of the current issue, which seemed to be quite commemorative.

However, Sean knew that this did not reflect the long-term sales of the newspaper. At best, it was just a momentary curiosity that pushed up the number, and the number of loyal subscribers was still only over two thousand.

but…

"However, this did have a publicity effect." Sean stood up, stretched his limbs, and expanded his chest, "First, more people know about the name change of the Evening News, which will definitely benefit the first post after the revision. Issue—everyone wants to know if this 'nonsense' Sean Dickinson is going to work, which is very beneficial for sales of the first issue of the revamp.

"Second, because curiosity has pushed up the daily sales, the news of the recruitment of the editor-in-chief has spread more widely. Maybe there will be an answer soon..."

Sean suddenly felt that he had learned something. With that sense of chance, he walked to the blinds and looked at the sunny city, as if smelling the dust on the street, his mind became clearer:

"People, love stories, love drama...

"I heard that there was a conflict in the editorial department of the Evening News. The new young boss fired the old hero. People wanted to know what happened, so their dull nerves suddenly became alert. People gathered around, wanting to know What happened next...

"People want something new."

Considering that the dismissal of Steve Ryan will definitely have a bad impact, Sean did not intend to drive away the old editor-in-chief at first.

He had no choice but to do so when he confirmed that the newspaper could not be reformed if Ryan was not invited to leave.

However, he did not expect that the negative news would bring him more attention.

Although judging from the newspapers, Sean's image is already a heinous villain, a layman who does anything wrong...

But he knows that the public, trained in the "moral warfare" between newspapers, will not trust the conclusions of any newspaper.

They will wait to see the next scene, to see how the revised evening paper is, and to see if that brave young man is capable...

Inadvertently, Sean gained more attention.

"Is this a good thing at all?" Moonlight·1902 also walked to the window, and the two old friends looked at each other.

Sean understands the meaning of moonlight ~lightnovelpub.net~ More attention means the public's magnifying glass and even the microscope, and they are all aimed at the revised "Evening Post".

The new president has no choice but to launch a perfect new edition of "Evening Post", which may turn these attentions into favors.

Otherwise, it will be a more violent attack and a final word on public evaluation.

Is it the rich second generation who committed misconduct and led to the complete decline of a traditional newspaper...

Or the young talent who revived the "New Testament Evening Post"?

The public is looking forward to the next episode.

Sean's heart was pounding and it felt so familiar.

Seeing the moonlight beside him, he remembered, this feeling...

Just like before every quest.
