Chapter 891: The Media Erupts
In the early morning of September 22, Iranian time.
People in Tehran, the capital of Iran, have fallen asleep, but in a corner of the city, there are still people on duty at the Tehran station of the Jiuding News Agency.
Tom, a white reporter, yawned, rubbed his eyes, forced himself to cheer up, and complained in his mouth: "I don't know what the company is thinking, but it actually allows us to keep communication and arrange for duty 24 hours a day, although the situation between Iran and Iraq is a little tense now, but it is obviously not to the point of war." ”
"Forget it, I'd better make a cup of coffee first, or I won't be able to hold it out tonight. ”
With a muttering mouth, Tom, a white reporter, walked towards the closet.
In a few moments, a cup of hot coffee was brewed.
He had just picked up his coffee and was about to walk to the sofa, but his steps suddenly stopped, he frowned and looked out the window, and muttered: "This sound seems to be the sound of low-altitude airplanes, and there are quite a few of them, where are so many planes coming from at night?"
Subconsciously, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
But before he could get to the window, he heard a series of violent bombardments.
"Shuit, it's a missile, the plane is bombing!"
Tom, who was a little sleepy, woke up instantly, he couldn't help but scold, and at the same time directly threw the coffee in his hand, and then quickly rushed to the corner of the house to find cover and hold his head to dodge.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The city was awakened by a continuous roar, and Tehran, which had been pitch black, was quickly lit up, with screams and exclamations one after another.
At the station of Jiuding News Agency, Tom's other colleagues also woke up one after another, and after making a judgment, they didn't have time to dress, so they looked for a place to hide.
After panicking, Tom found that the house had not collapsed and that he was still safe, so he gradually calmed down and made careful discernment, and found that the sound of bombing was still ringing, but the sound of bombing did not seem to be nearby.
In the spirit of a media man, Tom mustered up his courage, got up and ran to the table to pick up his camera, quickly rushed out the door, and looked up at the sky in the distance, from time to time he could see the red fire lit up in the northern sky.
He immediately pressed the shutter and snapped a few high-quality photos.
Then it was carefully analyzed and observed.
"Look at the distance, it's a suburb, it's not a residential area. ”
"Wait, it seems to be ...... there It's Tehran's air base!"
"It must be Iraq bombing Iran's air bases!"
“Oh No!”
"There's a plane coming here, are you going to bomb the city?"
Tom was shocked to see that the eastern part of the city of Tehran was also lit up by fire, and he remembered very well that it was an industrial area and an area of electricity supply, which was the source of power for Tehran.
He immediately raised the camera again and pressed the shutter continuously.
"Tom, Tom, hide, the planes are starting to bomb the city, damn it, dangerous!"
As Tom, a white journalist, continued to shoot, his colleague rushed out shirtless, yelled and pulled him back into the house, finding suitable cover to take cover.
As soon as I entered the house, the lights in the room flashed, and the whole room was completely black in an instant.
Obviously, the power station was blown up, and the whole city was once again plunged into darkness, with only the occasional flash of explosions and fires caused by the explosions.
The bombing lasted for half an hour before Tom and the others heard the sound of the plane moving away.
After waiting for a few minutes, everyone confirmed that the bombing had really stopped, and immediately came out of their hiding places, some of them took lighters and lit a faint fire, and began to look for spare candles.
After lighting the candles, everyone was relieved to see that everyone was in good condition.
"Luckily, the planes didn't hit our house!"
"Now that the power has been cut off, I quickly activated the backup generator, and I took some photos and uploaded them back to the company. ”
Tom, a white reporter, said loudly, and everyone was busy again, tossing and turning for more than ten minutes, and the room was powered on again, and everyone went about their jobs, trying to get the news back to the company as soon as possible.
At this moment, the advantages of Jiuding News Agency are reflected.
Because Jiuding News Agency has three communication satellites that are enough to cover the whole world, even if Tehran cuts off the city's communication signal due to power outages, it will not affect their fax information in the slightest.
Tehran, Iran, is eight and a half hours ahead of New York, USA, and although it is early in the morning in Tehran, it is only about five o'clock in the afternoon.
When the news of the air raid on Tehran in Iran reached New York, the global sub-news processing center of the Jiuding News Agency in New York attached great importance to it, immediately processed the news, and at the same time reported it to the next level.
At 5:15 a.m., the news was delivered to the CNN news anchor.
After finishing a local news, the background immediately switched to a photo taken by Tom, and the beautiful female anchor at the table reported with a serious face: "Now insert an important international news, just an hour ago, at 28 a.m. Tehran time in Tehran, Iran, Tehran was hit by an unknown group of aircraft...... Next, this news and the "USA Today" newspaper will provide you with the latest information as soon as possible, so stay tuned!"
The audience who was watching the news was shocked, and then one by one, many viewers immediately switched to the CNN channel, and most of the viewers who did not open the CNN news network, some of them were also ready to pay to open the CNN signal after realizing the efficiency of CNN.
After receiving the news from CNN, other large news media such as ABC and CBS also sent reporters to the airport as soon as possible, preparing to go to the Middle East and go deep into the war zone to get news.
The first bite of soup was eaten by CNN, and the later USA Today newspaper will also preempt them, so they naturally have to race against time to get the latest news and information to try to win a game.
But to the consternation of some media groups, before they left the United States, some evening newspapers began to report more detailed news, and for a while, the sales of these evening newspapers skyrocketed.
These evening newspapers are the same newspapers that Jiuding Newspaper Company acquired in the United States.
In addition, the "USA Today" newspaper mentioned by CNN also reached the ears of well-intentioned people through word of mouth, and these people immediately called the "USA Today" newspaper to prepare for an order.
And not only the United States.
Britain, France, Germany, island countries, Xiangjiang and other places, as long as Jiuding Newspaper Company has newspapers, they are trying to add news as much as possible.
The news of Tehran's air strikes reached the world at breakneck speed.
By the time the United States entered the night and the Middle East ushered in the dawn, Jiuding News Agency's reporters in Iraq and Iran were spread out, receiving a steady stream of high-quality news, which was immediately transmitted to the Heung Kong News Processing Center and the New York News Processing Sub-center.
The sun is rising, and New York is once again ushering in a new day.
Practitioners in the financial industry got up early and pulled out the USA Today newspaper in their mailboxes.
Many more are taking to the streets and buying USA Today from newsstands.
"USA Today", which was already famous for being the first national newspaper, skyrocketed in sales this morning, and even if Yan Wenhan was prepared, he had to give orders to reprint again and again.
According to Yan Wenhan's estimates, the USA Today newspaper, which originally sold more than 300,000 copies in the United States, has a great hope of directly surpassing one million copies today by relying on first-hand detailed scoops, after all, this newspaper directly covers the whole United States.
Unlike the other flagship newspapers of the U.S. branch, the New York Daily News, the Houston Chronicle, and the Washington Star, etc., all have a great localization, and even if the report is analyzed from a different angle today, the sales increase will definitely not be as terrifying as the "USA Today" newspaper.
An hour or two passed quickly, and the New York Mercantile Exchange officially opened.
The Wall Street crocodiles, who had long been gearing up, quickly entered the market with a surging amount of money, with a clear goal: oil futures contracts.
Buy!
Buy strongly!
Go crazy long!
Everyone knows that the war in the Middle East is coming with Iraq's idleness, and the shortage of oil will come again, the global oil supply will be affected, and the price of oil futures is bound to skyrocket!
The sharp rise in oil futures prices further shook the financial markets.
Both financial institutions and investors are trying their best to find the latest relevant information and try to make the most accurate analysis and judgment.
After looking and searching, they were all locked on CNN and "USA Today" and other newspapers, although other news media reported relevant news, but they all followed the trend and reported, which seemed worthless in front of CNN and "USA Today".
The reporters of these news media are still in transit in Europe, and even if they do get to the two countries, they will still need time to carry out their work, and there is still something to wait!
At 2 a.m. on September 23, Iranian time, Iraq mobilized 5 divisions and 2 brigades and more than 1,200 tanks to attack Iran from the north, center, and south.
A reporter from the Jiuding News Agency, who had been waiting at the border for a long time, used his camera to take pictures of the spectacular scene of the mighty army moving out from afar, and then quickly transmitted it back to the company through a communications satellite.
A steady stream of high-quality news was sent to the world through Jiuding News Agency, and the sales of major media under Jiuding Consortium have skyrocketed, leaving an excellent impression in the minds of our customers.
The benefits of oil futures have not yet been harvested, and the Iran-Iraq war has brought a wave of benefits to Xia Yu.
