The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 565: Extreme Edition

After hearing that Sean was going to start the Speed ​​Edition, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

The surprise of the employees was not without reason.

Years of experience told them that if an evening newspaper wants to publish the news of the day, there is no other way but to print "extras" overtime.

The extra account is only occasionally done for breaking news, and the experience of working overtime for the extra account is quite painful.

In their imagination, the "creative idea" put forward by Mr. Sean Dickinson means adding an extra number to every evening paper.

This is simply inhumane and impossible.

Although they have accepted the fact that the new boss is a dreamer, at this moment they sincerely believe that Mr. Dickinson's imagination is as rich as a wild horse, but its danger is just like this metaphor.

Therefore, their dissuasion at this moment is very necessary...

Several reporters and editors stood up, wanting to explain the absurdity of the idea.

Sean just pressed his hand, and they fell silent.

"Imagine a new thing according to the old way of thinking, and the conclusion must be impossible.

"Talk about diesel locomotives to people in the century of carriages, and I'm afraid they will be regarded as bewitched.

"But 'impossible' are all changed by creativity.

"If we always limit ourselves to the existing rules, it may be difficult to create excellence.

"Gentlemen, please temporarily put away your prejudices and listen to my thoughts..."

Prior to announcing the decision, Sean wasn't concerned about whether the plan would work.

After all, he and Norton had talked about it several times, and in the end they both agreed that Speed ​​Edition was achievable.

"The key is to set up another 'special team' in the editorial department.

"This team is not responsible for any other work, and will only serve one page of the day, which is the speed version.

"They will be distributed in all key locations in New York City, and each will be equipped with a dedicated line. After collecting the news, they will directly retell the manuscript to the editor through dictation...

"The most critical content of this page is the analysis of commodity price trends and stock market trends on that day..."

"How many people does the team need?" Vincent raised his hand and asked.

"Four reporters, two editors."

The head of the reporter group raised his eyebrows: "Then there are only two reporters left in charge of other news."

"Don't worry." Sean looked at John, "Now the editorial department has added a young reporter. In addition...

"I have an independent reporter's office, and there are three contracted reporters there who can contribute other news. The number is enough." The three extra reporters are actually Sean alone, but that's all he can say.

In this way, the speed team has 4 reporters and 2 editors, and the general news is 6+2. Before Sean recruited new reporters and editors, the normal operation was no problem.

After hearing about Sean's plan, the atmosphere in the meeting room relaxed a little.

All in all, the way the president responds to the surge in workload is to increase the number of people and add special teams...

As long as it doesn't drain the working people like them, it's fine.

"The typesetting editors have increased workload." Sean looked at the two people, "The normal typesetting of the evening paper remains the same, but before printing at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, an additional page of the day's content will be added—

"Of course, taking into account the actual situation, the Speed ​​​​version will adopt a fixed template, which is basically the same every day.

"In this case, the increase in workload is also within a reasonable range."

There is one more fixed-format layout, which is not an exaggerated increase in workload...

The two typesetting editors who were stared directly at by Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

After listening to the narration, the employees unanimously found that the speed version seems not as scary as imagined.

The panic at the beginning seemed to come from the habitual thinking of compiling the evening paper—

An extra account is a big headache, and there is an extremely fast version every day, which is unimaginable!

In fact, as long as the structure and working methods are slightly adjusted, the "Evening News" can also publish the news of the day...

This is a slightly simple initiative after breaking the fixed thinking.

After knowing that the speed version is feasible, a kind of excitement suddenly sprouted in the meeting room.

The shift in news style has given the editorial department some expectations for the market reaction of the new newspaper.

Plus the innovation of the Speed ​​Edition...

Thinking that the new edition of "Evening News" has really undergone a radical change, the members of the newspaper office who are looking forward to the increase in sales and word-of-mouth can't help but get excited.

Amidst the excitement, Sean and Richard looked at each other, and they were both relieved and happy about this atmosphere.

·

The composition of the Speed ​​Squad was quickly determined.

Regarding the composition of this squad, Sean and Richard had some arguments before.

The leader of the team recommended by Richard Norton is "Mr. Kangaroo" Vincent, and Sean doubts whether Vincent can fulfill this position well.

"He was with Ryan," Sean said, "and it was the end that changed.

"It's not that I can't use him, it's just that I don't worry about assigning such an important position to him."

"He can handle it, please believe me, Mr. Dickinson." Norton coughed for a while, his face and neck flushed, and then he continued, "In the editorial department, he is the only one who can command the three reporters now.

"And, he knows you have a bad impression of him. I can sense that he wants to behave."

Sean pondered for a while, looked at Norton's calm eyes, and nodded slightly: "But you have to keep an eye on him.

"Substitute if anything happens."

"certainly."

There is still one more day until Xinbao Hair Day.

The entire editorial office is in a strange atmosphere: tense and orderly, with a certain excitement suppressed in the silence.

This is a good sign, Xiao En, who was standing alone in the office, thought: the employees of Evening News, who were hit hard by the sales volume, actually had enough strength in their hearts.

They want to make a big splash.

In the past few days, Sean found that even the yawning "mascot" of the advertising department, Mr. Dupres, was more energetic.

He said good things about the new president and the new editor-in-chief whenever he met, and praised their decisions from the bottom of his heart.

He said that he was looking forward to the launch of the New Evening News and was already waiting for a call from the advertising agent.

He said that the Evening Post was saved.

For this ~lightnovelpub.net~ Sean's face was filled with relief.

He suddenly realized what this real-life "secret exploration mission" meant...

It means that someone has been hoping to reverse the increasingly decadent situation.

It means the heroic dreams of ordinary people in their daily life.

Means to bring hope to people.

However, this realization also made him feel pressure that he had never experienced before.

He took a deep breath, feeling the sharp smell of adrenaline.

— This also means that the reform of the Evening Post cannot fail,

The first issue of the New Paper must not go wrong!

Soon, the time came to the day when the new newspaper was released...
