When Sean finally realized who was sitting in front of him, he blinked in disbelief.

He remembered reading the newly revamped Philadelphia Herald and deciding it was going to do a lot.

At that time, I paid attention to the names of several people in the editorial department, and the editor-in-chief column was exactly the name of Richard Norton.

At that time, Sean, who had not embarked on the journey of newspaper industry, couldn't help but imagine that it would be great if he could also get such an editor.

did not expect…

Unexpectedly, Richard Norton was sitting in front of him at this moment, interviewing to become his editor-in-chief.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Sean at this time is happier than getting a B-level mysterious inheritance.

Calling Judy, who has been working overtime together, into the office, Sean, who no longer wanted to wait, immediately signed a contract with Norton...

After arranging for Judy to leave work, the president and the editor-in-chief closed the door and began to discuss the specific arrangements for the revision of the "Evening Post".

It was already so late, in order not to worry Aaliyah who was alone at home, Sean called home.

The two talked for a long time at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and basically decided on all the directions of the reform.

Afterwards, Sean himself drove Norton home.

On the way home, Olivia found Sean who was holding the steering wheel with a smile still on his lips.

She knows what the readers are thinking: Originally, she had no hope of finding a qualified editor-in-chief within two days...

Unexpectedly, before the end of the first day, I found Richard Norton!

The turn of events is too unexpected. It seems that any prediction of the future by human beings will make "fate" laugh.

Sean in a good mood tapped the direction sign, and part of his attention was shifted to the unknown place—the black mansion.

In the past few days, Ms. Hershey's followers have grown to sixty-five.

After the Angler incident, Sean manipulated Shawshank Rogers, summoned all the present speakers, and tightened the strings for them.

They are becoming more and more proficient in increasing the number of people. While the number is growing steadily, they have been able to prevent fishermen or malicious people from sneaking in.

More than sixty candles made the temple much brighter than before.

The power of faith has improved significantly. Sean felt that the lady's divine power is getting stronger and stronger, and his "information network"—Midnight Confession has also become larger and more substantial. Outline, and the information is gradually extending, let Sean know a lot of secrets about the undercurrents in the downtown area.

The black knight and the white knight... Sean let out a sigh of satisfaction and narrowed his eyes slightly: Both roads are moving forward steadily.

·

There are still six days before the new "Evening Post" comes out.

The editorial department, which took a day to formulate new manuscript standards, ushered in a new editor-in-chief.

The unsightly appearance did not hinder Norton's inauguration—almost all editors and reporters had heard of the "Ugly Lion" of the "Philadelphia Herald", and no one, including the head of the reporter Vincent, dared to Question the old gentleman's ability and qualifications.

As a result, Sean can finally fully devote himself to the revision work.

The details of the new name and slogan of the Evening News are basically already in mind, so it doesn't take much time and thought.

Now, the editorial department has to overcome difficulties mainly in two aspects:

The first is the quality of the manuscript.

There are now six reporters under the editorial department, all brought out by Steve Ryan himself.

Ryan is the representative of the "sensationalists" and "gossipists" among the editor-in-chiefs.

The newspaper he edited, in the eyes of Shaun and other progressives, is a stinking piece of dirty paper.

And the reporters Sean has now...

It is the creators of this "dirty paper".

It is very difficult to make the manuscripts written by these reporters have the temperament of "conforming to the times".

They are like chefs who are used to the country dishes of Leon, and suddenly they are asked to cook the professionalism and delicacy of Gaul cuisine...

It's not impossible, but it does take some hard work.

To solve this problem, there is no other way but to "grind".

And the word "grinding" made Sean and Richard suffer.

There should be few newspapers in the industry like this: for the manuscript of the next issue in six days, the president and the editor-in-chief personally read every report written and edited by the reporter.

Then, at the end of the day, hold a meeting to point out the problems of the day's manuscript one by one, and send it back for the reporters to make revisions based on very specific opinions.

Such a workload made Sean feel a little tired.

However, in the process, Sean discovered another "treasure".

That was the young Mr. John Jackson, who was bullied by the old editor-in-chief.

Worried about the shortage of manuscripts in the first issue of the new edition, Sean asked John, who was originally the manager of the president's office, to also work as a part-time reporter.

This high-achieving student who graduated from Columbia University's Department of Journalism, his manuscript fully meets the requirements of the two of Xiao En, and even created a model essay...

This process of adaptation and change was of course painful for Sean and Norton, but it was the reporters who were even more painful.

After submitting the report that I feel very satisfied with, and has been able to pass the draft smoothly without any second words...

In exchange, it was revised over and over again.

People who haven't experienced these don't know the torment of this feeling.

There were even two reporters discussing in private because of this, they might as well have left with Old Ryan.

Of course, this is angry talk. Although they felt very painful, they also vaguely knew that it was difficult for them to find a newspaper agency willing to accept them.

Therefore, for the sake of their livelihood, they themselves had to survive this period of time.

Fortunately, under the patience of Sean and Richard, the reporters and editors were finally able to work out a qualified manuscript, and the pain of writing was significantly reduced...

When all this was done, four days had passed.

But the reporters who cheered the passage of the manuscript had just learned that "purgatory" had only just begun.

As mentioned before, the quality of the manuscript is only the first difficulty before the publication of the new newspaper.

The second difficulty is one of Sean's ideas - "Extreme Speed ​​Edition".

The current newspaper leader, The New Testament Times, is a "morning newspaper."

That means its readers can read it over breakfast at six in the morning, and the paper carries the previous day's news.

Now in Sean's hands is an "evening paper".

Whether it is the license issued by the court, the reading habits of regular users, or the operation mode of the entire newspaper, it means that the "Evening News" can only continue to be published.

Sean was unable to pass the reform and directly changed the evening paper to the morning paper.

On the other hand, due to the mode of news gathering and editing, the news published in the evening paper is also from the previous day.

This means that, in terms of news timeliness, the evening paper is naturally "one day" later than the morning paper.

In terms of timeliness, the evening paper cannot compete with the morning paper.

So ~lightnovelpub.net~ all the evening papers will attract readers with special tricks such as "life breath", "social anecdote", "celebrity editorial".

This is also the reason why the reform of this evening paper is so difficult—because its natural nature is "the family's short stories" rather than "social elites".

And Sean wants to change all that.

He agreed that the evening paper should have a breath of life. After all, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being readable and interesting.

However, he believes that newspaper news must be time-sensitive,

Only in this way can we be competitive.

Therefore, he intends to break the stereotypes of the newspaper industry and create a "Extreme Edition", which will publish the news that happened before four o'clock that day in the "Evening News" of that day!

When Sean announced the news at the meeting, almost everyone except the editor-in-chief was stunned—

In their understanding, this kind of thing is impossible.
