Chapter 124: Le Monde (Open your mind on Friday)

Subtitle of this chapter: The climax also brews a drip

"Mr. Editor-in-Chief, please take a look at these photos. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Miss Pulitzer is of course not on NYU's campus now, but in the editor-in-chief's office in the Le Monde building next to Hyde Park in New York.

The current chairman and editor-in-chief of the current newspaper is Joseph Pulitzer's eldest son and Miss Pulitzer's father, Herbert Pulitzer.

Joseph Pulitzer was a figure who had a significant impact on the American newspaper industry and is recognized as the founder of the "new journalism" of the 70s and 80s of the 19th century, so it is worth introducing.

He was born into a middle-class Hungarian family in 1847. Pulitzer Sr.'s father was of mixed Jewish and Hungarian descent, and his mother was of German-Austrian descent, so their son was of four families.

Joseph, who mixed all the blood that could be mixed in Central Europe, came to the United States because his family was in the middle of the road after his father's death, so he smuggled to the United States in order to fill his stomach, and became a member of the famous Hessian mercenaries in history, and he was also a cavalryman. (note 1)

After being discharged from the military, Pulitzer Sr. stayed in the United States and became a journalist. In 1882 he bought the New York World, and finally became a newspaper tycoon in the truest sense of the word.

It is also worth mentioning that the Statue of Liberty was located in New York because of the fundraising campaign for the Statue of Liberty launched by him in 1883.

He established the column model of American newspapers and created the trend of "yellow journalism". (note 2)

"Alright, Emma. When no one is around, don't call me 'Mr. Editor-in-Chief'? ”

The current editor-in-chief looked at the youngest daughter and said with some doting:

Emma Pulitzer shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Editor-in-Chief." Have you forgotten what your grandfather said? We are to be professional! ”

Actually, Emma was her aunt's name, and his grandfather liked the girl so much that he took that name. And Emma, who has been exposed to it since childhood, loves this industry even more than her father.

Herbert Pulitzer choked on his daughter's words, and had to sigh helplessly: "Okay, whatever you want." ”

"So, Miss Pulitzer." He also put on a professional posture, put on reading glasses and said, "I'll take a look at your photos." ”

Joseph Pulitzer, who died in 1911, specifically stipulated in his will that Le Monde should never be sold. So his eldest son, Herbert Pulitzer, became the head of the newspaper. By 1920, however, Le Monde had been in some decline in its long-term rivalry with the New York Times.

Of course, Herbert Pulitzer, under the words and deeds of his father, was also a fairly professional newspaper man. Pulitzer Sr. had a nickname called "the tyrant of the newspaper," and he couldn't think of his son if he didn't get an education.

Mr. Pulitzer looked at a few photos taken by his daughter, nodded and said, "Miss Pulitzer, your photography skills have indeed improved." ”

He pointed to one of the photos and said, "The others are average, but this one is really good." I'm a father...... Well, the editor-in-chief didn't expect you to really have some talent in this area. ”

And that photo is a close-up of Yuan Yanqi's pair of fists!

I saw that the muscles on his fists were tense and the muscles were exposed. It makes the viewer see at a glance that kind of moving sense of power, and if you are a little more emotional, you will find that it also contains an inexplicable fierce emotion; And under the fist is a pair of shiny handcuffs, which makes people feel a very uncomfortable depression in their hearts.

So this photo later became one of the symbols of anti-racial discrimination.

Miss Pulitzer's face flushed, and she knew in her heart that except for this "clever hand" photograph, the other pictures of herself were just like his father had said, and they were really taken.

For example, the glittering photo of our Master Yuan. The New York Times reporter filmed him like a preacher Moses, and the same picture she made was much inferior, losing the Messianic complex, which is the favorite of Christians.

After praising his daughter, Mr. Herbert Pulitzer asked, "Well, in addition to showing your progress in the art of photography." Emma, what else do you want to say? ”

Miss Pulitzer hesitated, but then said, "Father...... Well, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, I would also like to tell you about the NEO-YUAN report. ”

"NEO-YUAN's Report ......"

Of course, the editor-in-chief of Le Monde knows the name, because yesterday this Chinese became a celebrity because of the "NYU gambling night", and today he wants to become a popular fried chicken because of the suspect in the "Wall Street bombing".

Maybe...... No, yes, it's for sure tonight, it's not the new Republican president at the dinner table that everyone is talking about, but this mysterious man from the East.

It has to be said that our Master Yuan, who is now full of gimmicks, is now a generous and noble young Chinese billionaire and a murderous anarchist radical against humanity, and it is only natural that he has become the focus of the whole of America.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Pulitzer, you're just a photojournalist or an intern." You don't have the qualifications to discuss the content of the report with me yet. ”

Emma Pulitzer argued unconvinced: "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, but I got first-hand information from my closest friends at NEO-YUAN. ”

Hearing this, Herbert Pulitzer, a professional newspaperman, couldn't help but be interested, and said, "Oh, so tell me what news you got?" ”

Her daughter very professionally took out a small notebook and spoke 1510.

The "first-hand information" that the female trainee journalist got naturally came from Mr. Louise Baker and Miss Helen Brown.

Two of Yuan's other friends drove to the New York metro police station with the police. Miss Pulitzer also took a ride, and by the way, gave Mr. Baker and Miss Brown an interview in the car.

………………………………………………

Note 1: Hessian mercenaries also have a long history, having been present in all European wars since the 17th century.

They helped Prince Eugen of the Habsburgs resist the last major Ottoman Turkish Empire's assault on Central Europe...... Heck, I don't know if these guys will be so angry that they will roll in the grave when they see the bird-like appearance of their offspring now.

To tell the truth, if the ancestors of the old European White Left knew about it, this coffin board would definitely not be able to hold it down. So Murong has another brain hole, if he imitates "The Return of Hitler" and resurrects all the anti-green heroes and crusaders in Europe, the picture must be beautiful.

Returning to the book, the Hessian mercenary regiment participated in the War of the Spanish Succession, the Thirty Years' War, the Great Northern War, and the War of the Austrian Succession...... He even went to the British Isles to suppress the Jacobite rebellion, which can be said to be unserved. It has to be said that the Hans were really good at fighting.

During the Revolutionary War, 30,000 Hessian mercenaries came to North America to fight for the British, making up about a quarter of the British army. About 5,000 soldiers settled in North America after the war. The rest of the survivors returned to the British Isles to suppress the Irish.

By the time of the Civil War, the northern United States had set up many foreign legions because of the lack of soldiers, drawing on the experience of the Gallic chicken. Among them, the more capable of fighting are the troops formed by the Hans. For example, the Lincoln Cavalry Regiment in which Pulitzer Sr. participated.

Note 2: Joseph Pulitzer is a legendary historical figure, if you are interested, you may wish to check out his Baidu Encyclopedia. The author really does not intend to write this novel as an expository essay, so I will not go into too much detail here.
