"Awakening" is a newspaper in California, USA, which focuses on life services, but the core content of "Awakening" is not to publish articles about life, "Awakening" is the same as his name, with a very strong critical spirit, basically every issue of "Awakening" will launch an article criticizing reality.

Because of the accurate positioning of "Awakening Miscellaneous", this kind of article with critical reality attracted the attention of many people once it was published.

As a result, in just five years since its inception, the Awakening Newspaper has become one of the top five newspapers in California.

Recently, however, the Awakening newspaper ran into a problem.

Several heavyweight critical literary authors who originally cooperated with "Awakening Daily" have been poached by other newspaper organizations.

This also made the "Awakening Newspaper" lose its core thing in an instant, and the Awakening Newspaper became just like ordinary newspapers, without any characteristics. This has also led to the recent decline in the sales of the "Awakening Newspaper", if the "Awakening Newspaper" still does not change much in the future, then the "Awakening Newspaper" will inevitably fall out of the top five California newspapers.

As soon as the "Awakening Newspaper" falls out of the top five California newspapers, for a newspaper organization like "Awakening" that does not have too deep a background, it is a big question whether the "Awakening Newspaper" can exist in the future.

Yes, the newspaper industry has always been very competitive. Don't look at the newspaper organizations that are at the top of the sales list, but that's just the surface. In fact, more than 70 percent of the organizations in the newspaper industry are not profitable, and even have large losses.

At this time, the founder of "Awakening" "Obili" was walking back and forth in the office.

"How's that, Huel. Dawes. George. They're really not nostalgic at all, are they?"

"Boss, the California Evening News has charged them three times as much as ours, and I don't think they will be back anytime soon. ”

"Damn, we knew we shouldn't have pushed the news business in the first place. ”

The Awakening is a newspaper, but it was a magazine article that was serialized before. However, if there is no news in the newspaper, no matter how well the Awakening article is. It can't sell those mass news newspapers. However, once he wanted to join the news newspaper, then he invested far more money than the original magazine newspaper.

Obili also saw the rapid growth of the "Awakening Newspaper" in recent times, and in order to enter the top three newspapers in California, he made a small gamble. It's just that I didn't expect that just after the "Awakening" made an increase in news business, the California Evening News, the California Daily News, and the California News Newspaper made an instant move. poached the author of the "Awakening Newspaper" at a high price.

This is the strength of the old newspapers and magazines.

Obili had some remorse for the loss, and he hated why he was so anxious to get into the news business in the first place.

If they are given another three years. Give him another three years to stabilize, and he will definitely be able to do better.

It's just that it's useless to regret it now, the key is the author.

"Well, let's not think about these guys, whether some authors in other states have connections. ”

"There is a connection, but some of their articles don't quite meet our requirements?"

"Show me. ”

"This is an article sent by these authors. ”

The assistant handed the authors' articles to Obili, who read them one by one.

In fact, you don't need to look closely, as long as you glance at it, Obili will know what this type of article is roughly about.

"This is not good, it is too romantic, we are a newspaper not a magazine, and the core of our awakening newspaper is not based on romantic works. ”

Obili's predecessor was also a literary youth, and he had his own research on literary works. Although he knew that the best selling novels in the market today were romantic literature, but they were only novels. They do newspapers, and newspapers need to have topics. And the most topical is critical literature. This literary genre is very critical, the language is vicious, and it is extremely ironic. Obviously, the type of article by the author of the first article just now does not meet the requirements of the Awakening newspaper.

"This article is not good, although it is written in the critical genre, but it is too hidden for ordinary people to see at all. ”

"This one is not good, the sarcasm is too light, it is equal to itching. ”

"This ......"

Page by page, in the end, all the articles written by well-known authors, "Obili", were all abandoned.

Alas, how is it so hard to find a slightly better work of the critical genre?

"Boss, do you want to take a look at the manuscript submitted by the rookie author?"

Seeing that Obili was a little crazy, the assistant reminded Obili to say.

"New author?"

Obili smiled wryly, it's not that he looks down on rookie authors, it's that many rookie authors don't know how to write at all.

It may seem ironic, but that's exactly what it is.

Many new writers will think that their writing is good when they start writing, and they will feel that others are not as good as their own writing. However, when they actually wrote their works, you realized that their works were simply unsightly. Even if there are some good writing, because they don't know how to write, they can't get the attention of others in the end.

Not to mention this very difficult type of critical literature, even if it is an ordinary romance work, new authors may not be able to write it well.

Of course, it's normal to write badly, and it's the case for new authors. However, many new authors often do not write well, but they just don't know that they can't write well. Even, there are many people who shout at every turn that what they write is a famous book, and what they write can be passed down for a hundred years.

Like the works of this kind of newcomer authors, Obili didn't look at them, and just threw them in the trash.

Forget it, let's see.

In the past, I didn't look at newcomer submissions much because there were signed authors under it, and it didn't matter if I looked at newcomer submissions or not. But now, although I also know that the article written by the newcomer author is probably not very pointed, but there is really nothing I can do, so I have to take a look. After all, there is such a thing as literature, who can say for sure. Perhaps, there is a genius among the rookie authors.

Obili recited God bless, and sometimes this kind of literary genius cannot be judged empirically.

With the only remaining bit of anticipation, Obili entered the mailbox and stuffed the emails from the various rookie authors.

"It's also called an article?"

After reading the first article, I directly made "Obili" so angry that he vomited blood.

Nima, this is simply an essay written by an elementary school student.

Well, well, that's it for newcomers, that's it for newcomers, Obili reminded himself.

"Do you think it's fun to talk to yourself?"

Another cross-section.

"This article is written on the right topic, but unfortunately, little brother, critical literature is not up to scold, if such an article is published, I am afraid that it will have to be scolded to death by readers. ”

After reading dozens of articles in a row, Obili kept shaking his head.

It seems that there is no thought of anything.

A newcomer is a newcomer, even if he is a genius, he probably won't be able to touch it.

Hey, this "Imperial Minister" is a bit interesting.

Nearly 100 submissions from new authors have been rejected in a row, and Obili is a little dizzy to watch.

Eventually, a work called "The Chancellor" caught Obili's eye.

At first, Obili just thought the work looked okay, with some humor, some hilariousness, and at the same time didn't make the mistakes of those newcomers. However, as he read more and more, Obili was completely stunned by this work. By the time he finished reading the whole article, Obili could already see that Tomorrow's Awakening Newspaper's "The Chancellor" would become the most hotly discussed work in the California media.
