The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 568: ideal newspaper

"A New Covenant for a Day."

If you look down the "mountain road" of this slogan, you can see the headline on the front page of the "Lighthouse Evening News" that day.

Since there was no shocking local news, Sean directly took the news and introduction of the evening paper's revision as the headline of the day.

"Rebirth of Feelings" - the editor-in-chief "The Ugly Lion" Richard Norton, claimed that he has not written an article in person for many years, but Sean still admires his words.

As if summoning the heroic lion in his heart, Sean read between the lines the excitement of starting a new voyage.

After elaborating and looking forward, Norton pointed out the innovation of the Evening News succinctly in this introductory article.

Although it is an article with obvious intentions, it still shows just the right feelings.

Next to this article is the letter of reply from the "President of the newspaper".

In fact, Xiao En, who is calm about newspaper disputes in his heart, deliberately responded to the accusations made against him by other newspapers in a slightly violent way.

In the letter, he described himself as a pioneer who insisted on progressivism, and the siege of public opinion was obviously a collective persecution of him and the newspaper by the conservative party.

Sean knows what the current readers are like, and he doesn't mind continuing to fight his peers in the newspaper, because he can just use this to appeal to the readers' understanding and sympathy.

While secretly laughing and jumping, the "Ryans" inexplicably projected the spotlight on themselves in a besieged manner, and at the same time made a generous statement in the article, accusing their peers of insulting them...

Sean couldn't think of a better way to spread the word.

He even felt a little grateful for his "straightforward" critics.

After the editor-in-chief and the president wrote an article, on the bottom of the front page was a circular issued by the New Testament Belief Bureau about strengthening the belief in the religion of salvation.

Such a draft is nothing more than God's love for the world and the movements of "high-level" shepherds.

This is a draft that perhaps only devout believers would read word by word.

In the newspaper industry, there are two distinct attitudes towards the publication of the Belief Bureau's draft.

The tide of liberalism that rose after the European War had a great influence on the press. Quite a few emerging newspapers are no longer willing to publish the draft of the Belief Bureau, let alone publish it on the front page.

On the other hand, those newspapers that have a good relationship with the divine court, or newspapers whose executives have pious beliefs, will still follow the old practice and put the draft in an important position.

The "New Testament Evening News" used to do this, and Sean, who just wanted to please the court, continued this tradition.

It can be regarded as a gentle and opportunistic continuation in a radical innovation.

In short, Sean made up his mind that the sales volume of his newspaper should be high, and it should please the officials. It's that simple.

Then, Sean directly turned to the second page of the speed version.

Manager Lewis gave out the financial analysis manuscript of the day one hour after the stock market closed, and it was printed verbatim at the bottom of the stock market of the day.

Of course, this cute page is not limited to stocks, all the reports obtained by the Speed ​​​​Squad today were published in the "Evening News of the Day"!

Looking at the news of the day printed by the drum printing machine, Sean felt in a trance.

Before that, I'm afraid people can't imagine what it's like to read the news of the day in the evening paper.

This is like the first time people have heard that after the launch of civilian flights, it only takes two hours to travel from Xinyue to Rongguang City.

Just like the telegraph technology was first used in the news industry, people on the other side of the ocean could read the news written by foreign correspondents, the news of the day before the European battlefield.

Although compared with these technological innovations, Sean's Speed ​​Edition is a bit insignificant, but it is also an improvement in line with the temperament of this era.

It is a small progress that will make people have infinite reverie about the future.

Sean looked at his "work" in disbelief.

When people are working hard for a goal, they can't know what its final effect will be.

But when you actually get the finished product, you will have an indescribable feeling.

An incredible feeling.

Sean sighed softly, and began to quickly browse the other contents of the first issue.

There is no need to read it again, because he has reviewed the text over and over again.

The tone of news gathering and editing has completely changed, and the stale atmosphere of the "New Testament Evening Post" can no longer be found.

After putting down the newspaper, Sean knew what that incredible feeling was:

The current "Lighthouse Evening News" is already close to his ideal newspaper.

Sean left his seat. After working for days, he finally felt a kind of release.

He threw himself on the sofa in the office, covered himself with a coat, and fatigue quickly made him fall asleep.

Olivia, who was sitting at the desk next to her, looked at Sean with her chin resting on her face, with a soft expression on her face.

Sean hadn't had a dream for a long time, and this nap at work actually made him have a dream.

In his dream, he saw the wet streets of Xinyue, where evening newspapers were neatly stacked in newsstands, and people passing by would pick up one. Those newspapers were blown by the wind and turned into gray pigeons covered in writing, flying towards the tall buildings. between…

·

Twelve thousand copies.

Sean rushed to the office the next day and learned that the first issue sold 12,000 copies.

Sean and editor-in-chief Norton aren't overly excited by the number, though.

Because the attention given by the "revision controversy" is temporary, Sean has already predicted that there will definitely be a big bubble in sales in the past few days.

What made Sean even more curious was the possible reaction to his letter.

After all, his impassioned reply was aimed directly at those chief writers who besieged him, so it's no wonder that the other party would calm down...

Therefore, he asked John to buy mainstream New Testament newspapers and sit in his office to read them.

As soon as he opened the "Sun", he laughed.

Steve Ryan does appear to have found a new job.

But instead of being the editor of the new page, he turned himself into a critic.

With deliberately objective tones, Ryan calmly recounts the "crappy reform" of the Evening Beacon, calling it a "classic failed transformation"…

Ryan, who also hasn't written in person for a long time, did not spare his pen and ink this time, and analyzed the "stupidity" of the Evening News: He said that Mr. Dickinson wanted to take the new elite route and wanted to please those readers who did not belong to the Evening News. , but paradoxically relegated himself to becoming a "Penny Paper."

This fully shows that Mr. Dickinson is a "contradictory" person, just as he showed in the newspaper office-

In this narrative, Ryan implies that Sean is irritable, fickle, conflicted, greedy, and stupid.

And the person who was evaluated, at this moment, read this obviously unobjective review with a smile on his face~lightnovelpub.net~ The reason for the smile is not because Sean is happy to be splashed with dirty water, but because he knows this The "war of words" has not stopped.

Unbeknownst to his opponents, this war of words was the perfect publicity for the new evening paper—

The spectators of course wanted to know how Mr. Dickinson would reply next, so they could only continue to buy the Evening Beacon.

And after buying it, they're likely to read it, so…

He was thankful that he responded in the first issue, and also that the hatred of him from the conservative party was so deep and surging, and because of this, the spotlight continued to shine on him.

He sniffed something different in today's paper, though.

Something different than pure criticism.

Sean narrowed his eyes, pinched the lower half of the newspaper with his fingers, moved closer and began to read it carefully...
