"Comrade Tang Di, in view of the fact that during your leadership of the Southern Economic Tribune, you were unable to strictly enforce propaganda discipline, and there were many false reports in your reports, which caused an extremely bad social impact. The party group and the minister's office meeting of the ministry decided that from now on, you will be dismissed from the post of editor-in-chief of the Southern Economic Tribune, and the Southern Economic Tribune will be suspended for two months to carry out internal rectification......"

In the office of the editor-in-chief of the Southern Economic Tribune, a serious-looking official held a document with a big red head in his hand, and said to Tang Di who was like a dead gray. He is a deputy minister of the provincial propaganda department, named Tan Hongming, and is Tang Di's direct superior.

Southern Tribune is a somewhere between the system and the outside of the system, and its mode of operation is completely commercial, and the majority of its staff are recruited from the public. However, some high-level managers, including Tang Di, are still within the establishment of the undertaking and must be subordinated to the management of the system. When Nandao was in unlimited glory, Tang Di, the editor-in-chief, could not be easily removed by his superiors, but when Nandao encountered a crisis, how the superiors would deal with him was not something he could change.

Hanhua's pursuit of Nandao finally made it impossible for the province where he was located to remain silent. The province has also asked the relevant departments of the central government to intervene in this matter, including restricting the discussion of this matter on the Internet and stopping the publication of the book "Nandao Exposed". But the officials of the central government just said that they would find a way to coordinate, but they never agreed to help.

In fact, it's not that the higher-level departments really don't want to help, but there are also a lot of people who are looking forward to Nandao's bad luck, and their influence is also very great. Superiors have to balance everyone's requirements, right?

Speaking of which, the large enterprises and large units offended by Nandao are not only Hanhua, but many departments such as telecommunications, petroleum, and aviation have been subjected to Nandao's black guns. In the past, these things have passed, but now that we see someone jumping out to lead the way to the south, how can those departments that have suffered losses sit idly by?

These departments are also hand-eyed. They expressed their stance to several departments in charge of propaganda at the central government: We do not require the state to use administrative means to sanction the Southern Cable, but the state cannot at least use administrative means to protect the Southern Cable, right? When Nandao exposed our problems, you said that this was freedom of the press. Can't intervene. Now that Nandao himself has been exposed, we demand that everyone be equal in front of freedom, isn't it too much?

In addition to these large enterprises. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Commission of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Commerce also came out to speak together: Does this Nandao understand what national interests are? We are now negotiating with foreign devils to force them to spit out patented technology, which is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. You are a Chinese newspaper and speak from the standpoint of a foreign devil, what is this? Well, now that someone has exposed the matter of Nandao, the means used are completely legal, if you come forward to favor Nandao out of the interests of the department. Then let's go up there and talk about it.

All these voices are suppressed, and it is naturally inconvenient for the higher-level organs to pull their hands off. When the leaders of several units in charge of propaganda got together, they all shook their heads helplessly and said: This Nandao is really too bad at being a person, alas. It's a pity that such a vibrant newspaper...... Tang Di is a person...... Well, none of us ever said we knew him.

Without the government's intervention, the battle between Hanhua and Nandao would depend entirely on their respective strengths. As Lin Zhenhua said, the media is simply unable to compete with capital. Hanhua took out the momentum to compete with foreign companies to hack a media, and was worried that it would not be able to discredit the media?

Nandao finally collapsed.

The core value of a newspaper. It's about its credibility. Hanhua's attack this time is precisely aimed at the credibility of Nandao. In the past, Nandao has always advertised itself as the conscience of society, and was able to tell people some information that was not available in the official mainstream media, which made it win the love of a wide audience. But now, Hanhua uses ironclad facts to tell everyone that the information disclosed by Nandao is actually fake, it takes advantage of people's desire for the truth, and what it sells to everyone is a lie that deviates from the truth. …,

The charm of idols is endless, but once an idol collapses, it is completely irreversible. Almost overnight, Nandao was seriously unsalable on all newsstands across the country. The advertiser immediately telegraphed to the advertising department of Nandao to stop publishing its own advertisements, isn't it, who is willing to throw money at a notorious media?

The reporter also encountered difficulties when he went out to cover the news. In the past, wherever Nandao's reporters went, as long as they flashed their press cards, others would be three points shorter first, for fear of being caught by Nandao. And now, when the interviewed organizations saw that Nandao was hunted down, they were confident enough, and when they saw Nandao's reporter, they directly said: "I'm sorry, we don't believe that you can objectively report on our affairs." ”

"If you refuse to be interviewed, it means that you have a ghost in your heart, and if you don't cooperate with the interview, we will find out the truth from other ways!" The reporter of Nandao used a big killer weapon that has been tried and tested in the past.

For such a threat, the other party just sneered: "What other way, isn't it just rumor-mongering?" In "Nandao Revealed", your methods have been clearly written. If you have the ability, you can expose it, 'It seems to be dull' said in an interview with reporters a few days ago, and he is still preparing a second episode, and everyone is welcome to provide new material. If we give him what you threatened us, he will give us 100 dollars to pay for the bill. ”

The young journalists could not stand the discriminatory gaze of their relatives, friends and classmates, and submitted their resignations one after another. In the past, it was a very glorious thing to say that he worked in Nandao, but now everyone can't wait to say that they have never heard of Nandao. After all the young reporters are gone, the old reporters and editors are also starting to get excited, and when they go to work, there are people openly calling to find their connections and moving about job hopping. Everyone realized that Nandao's ship was about to sink, and there was no need for them to be martyred.

It is not necessary for the province to notify the suspension of publication, and Nandao can no longer support it. For many days in a row, the editorial department could not receive the necessary number of manuscripts, and could only rely on some articles such as "Girls should wear low-cut when riding in the car. A bus driver reveals the top ten tricks of perverts" and other gossip articles to fill the page. At this point, does Tang Di still want to turn over?

"I obey the decision of the province." Tang Di said gloomily, "I just want to know one thing, what does the province think about the future positioning of Nandao?" ”

Tan Hongming said: "Nandao must continue to run, as a newspaper with a high reputation among the masses, the province will not sit idly by." The province will transfer an experienced comrade from another newspaper to take your place. After Nandao was suspended for rectification, it still had to be republished. ”

Tang Di laughed self-deprecatingly: "Very well-known, that's in the past." After such deliberate suppression by Hanhua, even if Nandao is still well-known, I'm afraid it will be notorious and infamous, right? How does the province plan to change the image of Nandao? ”

Tan Hongming said: "Old Tang." You are also the old man of Nandao, and you have made a lot of contributions to the development of Nandao. There are some things that you might as well know about them. Before I came to you, the Propaganda Department had already contacted Lin Zhenhua through the connections in Jiangnan Province. The other party said that as long as Nandao is willing to change his mind, they can carry on the past, and they welcome a Southern Economic Tribune that can truly reflect reality and social conditions and public opinion. ”

"That's a beautiful thing to say!" Tang Di sneered, "All the changes in your heart, isn't it just that you will no longer be difficult with Hanhua?" Those who follow me prosper. Those who oppose me die, and the existence of Hanhua has become an obstacle to the freedom of Chinese society. ”

"Don!" Tan Hongming sighed, "You don't have to always blame others, Nandao has indeed gone a little far in recent years." Do you dare to say that the things exposed by Hanhua about your distortion of the facts are not true? What's wrong with the first year of junior high school and the fifteenth year of junior high school? "We make the necessary cuts to the facts in order to be able to make everyone pay more attention to our society, and our motives are just." In fact. Many of the things we reported have received a positive response from the society, which has led to the improvement of the work of the relevant departments. If you think about it, what would happen if we didn't report on the problems of out-of-school children, the problems of poor mothers in rural areas, and the problems of land requisition and demolition? ”

"Old Tang, we are also old friends, in front of me, do you need to say these big words?" Tan Hongming's face sank, "These things you said are also reported by other media, and the government itself has been working hard to improve over the years, how can this become the credit of your family?" You criticized the overlord clause of civil aviation, and as a result, the civil aviation of the civil aviation put more than 10 million advertisements in your newspaper, and you did not say anything, and in the end, the overlord clause of civil aviation did not change at all, which is also a fact, right? ”

"It's a necessary means for newspapers to survive." Tang Di defended, "This is not because our country lacks an atmosphere for news development, if we can survive without relying on advertising, but on social donations, we naturally don't have to succumb to advertisers." ”

"Then you will also succumb to the investors." Tan Hongming said unceremoniously, "Old Tang, don't think that only you have been to the United States, we have all been there." ”

"Uh......" Tang Di was speechless, he knew that his previous words were no problem to be used to deceive the general audience, but to say it to experts in the news circle, it would be a joke. In the so-called free national seat that he keeps talking about, the most core media has the shadow of big conglomerates behind them, which media dares to casually make fun of their own financiers?

In fact, most of the foreign stories we usually hear are made up by the minds of the public, so there is the United States in the passport, Germany in the oil-paper bag, Japan in the summer camp, India on the freedom train, Saudi Arabia without the second generation of officials, Iraq in ruins, and Afghanistan in peace and happiness...... All these myths, as long as you go abroad and walk around them for yourself, you will know that they are completely jokes.

Nan Dao is an expert in making up this kind of myth, how could Tang Di not know the ridiculousness of these myths?

"Talking about the minister, Nandao was defeated by Hanhua this time, don't expect any media to dare to expose Hanhua's light in the future. If Hanhua behaves recklessly, no one will be able to supervise them, don't you think this is our sorrow? Tang Di didn't dare to talk about Nandao's own affairs anymore, and turned his conversation to Hanhua.

Tan Hongming said: "Let me tell you another news, Hanhua is recently preparing to set up a truth prize to encourage journalists from domestic media to bravely expose the truth. GCA also promised that if a journalist suffers retaliation for revealing the truth, GCA will provide full livelihood support and legal aid to the victimized journalist. Just when we communicated with Lin Zhenhua, he also made it clear that he welcomed the revised Nandao to supervise all the work of Hanhua, and as long as it reflected the real situation, Hanhua would never retaliate. ”

"Clever! Behind Hanhua, there must be masters. Tang Di praised.

Replaced by Tang Di himself, after defeating his opponent, he will definitely come to such a hand to show his justice. Tang Di even guessed that after his gloomy resignation, Hanhua would definitely sing a duet with the new editor-in-chief of Nan Dao, and Nan Dao would report an innocuous negative incident of Hanhua, and then Hanhua would stand up and express his sincere acceptance.

In this way, the audience's grievances about Hanhua's suppression of Nandao have been completely eliminated, and everyone will say that in fact, Hanhua is really cute, very talkative, and not doing it right, just Tang Di, the former editor-in-chief of Nandao. ..., "It's okay, all the infamy is on my back, as long as I can exchange Hanhua for letting Nandao go, it can be regarded as my last contribution to Nandao." Tang Di said.

"Old Don, learn a lesson." Tan Hongming patted Tang Di on the shoulder and said, "Hanhua is not like those state-owned enterprises that you have exposed in the past, for the leading cadres of those enterprises, it is the best choice to calm down the people, and everyone is afraid that the matter will affect their hats if it gets bigger." And Hanhua is Lin Zhenhua's private company, no matter how big the trouble is, it will not change his absolute authority in the company. In this case, he will dare to start a war with you, and is there any difficulty for a large enterprise with assets of more than 100 billion yuan to crush a media like you? ”

"It's convincing." Tang Di nodded and said, "If there is another chance, I will definitely choose to be friends with Lin Zhenhua, not enemies." ”

You don't have a chance anymore...... Tan Hongming said secretly in his heart.

Tang Di left, and turned off the lights in his office before leaving. The Nandao office building, which was once lit up all night, is now dark, in stark contrast to the lights reflected in the surrounding office buildings.

Standing outside the building, looking at this scene, Tang Di suddenly remembered a poem given to him by a poet friend named Ziwei:

Where light overflows, darkness is also a light! (To be continued......)
