Chapter 152: Are You Ready?
Before I knew it, a month and a half had passed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The spring breeze blew all over the land, and what had been a white field for a long time finally had some vibrant green. The weather is better, the temperature is warmer, and the newspaper has ushered in good news.
Early this morning, Qin Ziqian, who had just recovered from a serious illness, came to the newspaper on time to report. Xiao Jing specially organized the staff of the newspaper to come in a queue in the courtyard to welcome her, and asked Dong Huaiyuan to present her with a bouquet of wildflowers that had just been picked outside on behalf of everyone, which made her very embarrassed.
Miss Qin is still wearing men's clothes. She greeted every colleague with a smile, and when she arrived at Xiao Jing, she stayed for a shorter time than in front of others.
Today's Qin Ziqian is a little different, she didn't deliberately speak in a man's tone; That smile also exudes a charming femininity. Usually, Shao Ning and Xiao Jing have a common language in the matter of "Qin Ziqian's pure masters", but today he only knows that he peeks at others from time to time, if Su Yuxian is not still there, I am afraid that he will not be able to take his eyes off.
The people in the newspaper are quite even, except for Xia Hanxue and Ling Tianhua, most of the employees have arrived, and even He Wan'er and Miss Lu, who are not sure when they will appear, are also there.
Xiao Jing decided to have a meeting. If there are too many people sitting in the hall, it will be a little crowded, and everyone will simply move out the tables and chairs. Anyway, it's warm outside, so let's take it as a sunbath.
After a few casual words, Xiao Jing brought the topic back to work: "The report on Linzhou is over. Who knows what we're going to do next? ”
Editors and reporters have a lot of gossip. Some say that newspapers are too local and should be expanded in terms of coverage and coverage; Some say that there are still many industries that can make a fuss, and newspapers should make efforts to investigate and strive to open up new pages; Of course, Shao Ning also spoke, but he slapped the table and said an unconstructive opinion: "If you want to do it, you will make a big ticket!" ”
Xiao Jing scolded with a smile: "You think we are a cottage here, and you still have a big ticket!" I have to do it for you, anyway, Lao Tzu won't lose his head with you. ”
With that, he walked back to the room and brought two small wooden boxes. All the people who knew the wooden box quietly clenched their fists, only He Wan'er, a non-staff member who was not permanently stationed in the editorial department, flashed his big eyes, and he was a little confused.
"A lot of people know what this is." Xiao Jing looked around for a week and said loudly: "They are all kinds of information collected by reporters, some big things and some small things. However, no matter which one of them is, it is closely related to the common people. ”
After a pause, he said: "It is always said that iron shoulders bear morality, but what is morality? Naturally, it is a moral duty to help the victims of the disaster in Hedong, and it is also a moral duty to help the reconstruction of Linzhou City. We are influential media, and of course we must speak for those who cannot speak out, and advocate for the well-being of the people of the world. But what have we done besides these two? ”
Xiao Jing picked up a copy of the previous issue of the Mirror Newspaper from the table, shook his head and said: "The current Mirror Newspaper is selling very well, and the advertisements are also selling very well. However, I want to say this: this is not the news I wanted! ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Some looked disappointed, others looked dazed; A bold and muttering voice like Shao Ning can be heard by everyone present: "Since you are so dissatisfied, why do you want us to do these Laoshzi?" ”
"Shao Ning asked well, what did you do before?" Xiao Jing's gaze swept over everyone's eyes: "We have an entertainment version, a social and legal version, and a practical information version, which are still leading in the industry at least for now." You've read from our readers, and what is published in the newspaper has really helped countless people. I don't mean to deny your work, because it's my own effort. However, I would like to ask, how much time can we eat this bowl of rice?
What we can do, more people will do in the future. There are countless talents in the world of the Great Rui Dynasty, and there will definitely be someone who can do better than us. On that day, what qualifications do we have to say that we are the pioneers of the newspaper industry, the leaders of the industry?
There are people in this world who have suffered more than ordinary people, and what we have done before will not help them at all. Yes, even if the Mirror Newspaper is indifferent to what happened to them and chooses to turn a blind eye and ignore it, as long as the newspaper's reputation and heritage are still there, the newspaper can still survive peacefully, and maybe it can become a century-old store. It doesn't matter if there are more competitors and the advertising revenue is less, no matter what, it is enough to feed our seven or eight people; Besides, there are many ways to make money, and other newspapers want to play tricks, but I'm afraid they can't play me.
In a hundred or two hundred years, our descendants will become rich people with big bellies, and the mirror newspaper will still be a model of love for the people in the mouths of the people, and it seems that everyone will be happy, right?
However, if there really is such a day, I must not laugh at Jiuquan. Because, I'm sorry for the phrase 'iron shoulders shoulder morality, clever hands to write articles'! ”
Xiao Jing's hand pointed to the hall with the door open. These ten words hung high on the north wall, and anyone could see them as soon as they entered the house.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "There are countless kinds of suffering in the world, each of which can harm many people. I am not a saint, nor am I a god, nor are you. No one can destroy all darkness, and no one can save everyone who suffers! So, all the Mirror has to do is do its best. If you help one more person, you may benefit more people who have had similar experiences, and then make the world a little bit better than it used to be. All of this is achieved through our hands.
No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles. Only by accumulating countless 'little bits' can we see the better or even the best of that Da Rui Dynasty.
This is the duty and mission of the Mirror. Of course, as before, there are countless people who sit and talk about it and laugh at us. They will ridicule the Mirror with what we want to do but have not yet done, they will mock the Mirror with what we know but we don't know yet, and they will distort the facts, change the concept and attack the Mirror with their so-called righteousness.
However, please remember that those who have done something for the common people in the world are always better than those who have done nothing!
In the future, newspapers will not be calm. Once you follow the path I said, the risks will follow, because the mirror will touch the interests of many people. As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents; I will do my best to steer the helm and not put my colleagues in danger.
However, it is impossible to avoid all risks, so you must also be aware that when the time comes, we will face not only invective and incomprehension, but also prison and swords, and even more terrible things. ”
Xiao Jing pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "You guys, are you all ready?" ”
