Chapter 552: The Media Confessed
After the joint press conference, there was an uproar throughout Italy, and even the whole of European football was hit by an unprecedented earthquake.
More than half of Serie A teams have announced their entry into news silence?
Fight against the gratuitous smears of the Italian media?
No one reacted other than to be shocked and jaw-dropping.
Italian football has been quiet for a long time, and now, the peace has finally been broken, and it is so violent and lightning fast.
The media has the right to speak public opinion, which has always been the root cause of their arrogance.
I have the right to speak, I say one is one, what I say is black, no one can refute it, even if it is not a fact, I can become a fact.
The unrestrained and unscrupulous cultivation over a long period of time has made the media more and more aggressive.
Football is inseparable from the media, but don't forget that this development path is not necessarily the right way, it is likely to be deformed.
How many new stars have been ruined by the media?
How many young geniuses could have progressed incrementally after a blockbuster, and then laid a solid foundation and eventually soared to the sky?
But under the praise of the media, they lost their direction, lost their minds, lost themselves in the pursuit of everyone, and finally achieved nothing and degenerated to the point of extinction.
One tragedy after another has occurred, but the media that initiates the most tragedy does not need to pay for these tragedies, and they have used them to attract countless eyeballs, and they can even use the subsequent depravity to hype up another wave and make a lot of money.
There is no kind encouragement, no charcoal in the snow, there is just a rush when you smile, and a stone when you are at a low tide.
Of course, this is only part of the sin of the media.
This time, it seems that football is no longer silent, and with Vardy as an opportunity, most of the Italian football and Italian media officially started a confrontation.
No matter who the final winner is, even if it can only be a lose-lose situation in the end, but since this step has been taken, there is no need to think about it so much.
The media reacted quickly, and the editor-in-chief immediately appeared in major newspapers and magazines, criticizing the news silence time.
"It's hard to imagine that in an era when the media is so developed, there will be an event that will turn history backwards, is freedom of speech just a false illusion?"
"The media drives the development and progress of football, but in the end football fails the media, which reminds me of the story of the farmer and the snake!"
"We don't care if we publish news about football or not, but let's not forget that it is the countless fans who want to get more news about football from our carrier, and these clubs are undoubtedly acting in a way that turns their backs on the essence of football and puts them and the fans on the opposite side!"
"I'm afraid this will be a disaster, a catastrophe worse than the phonegate, and if the news silence continues, then I think Italian football will go back at least ten years and disappear from the European map!"
"Finally, don't be unpredictable!"
......
The media have a very strong ability to beat up and rake, saying as if these clubs are domineering dictators, and the media are the victims, and using the most moral kidnapping of the fans, artificially classifying the clubs as the opposite of the fans, and looking like a thing, if you don't know the ins and outs, everyone may really believe it.
But the problem is that most fans understand what's going on.
A while ago, Vardy was hacked by the media for no reason because of the red card in the first minute of the opening game, and it has only been a long time since the incident, and now it has attracted countless black remarks, and there is basically no lower limit except for no family members.
Who is Vardy?
World Footballer, the first person in world football, the best scorer in world football, there is no one.
The fact that such a super outstanding player can transfer from the Premier League to Serie A, which has far less attention than the Premier League, is already equivalent to "influence poverty alleviation".
But the Italian media not only did not take advantage of this, but actually played their own old routine, all kinds of bottomless black, if it really hacked Vardy away, so that all the top stars lost interest in Serie A, then who is the sinner of Italian football?
Do you blame Vardy for leading a bunch of clubs against you?
Is there any shame left?
Fans who really understand this are all scolding the media and supporting Vardy and the minor league of Serie A clubs this time.
Of course, there are also people who don't know the truth and follow the guidance of media and public opinion, and attack Vardy and these clubs in anger, causing a burst of gunsmoke.
The day after the minor leagues announced that they had gone into a news silence, there were still news from these clubs, game results, results, and some of the things that happened in the game, because these things can be summarized just by watching the game, and there is no need to go to the interview.
But there is no more targeted news because their reporters don't have first-hand information, and they don't know what is going on in the game.
Of course, except for this time in the minor leagues, other teams still go their own way, such as AC Milan, they should be interviewed when they should be interviewed, but they are glad to get more pages because of this incident!
On the third day, there was no compromise in the small leagues, and neither did the media.
Day 4......
Day 5......
......
The minor leagues have been silent for a week, and as a result, many Serie B teams, lower league teams and even amateur clubs have followed suit and announced that they have entered the news silence.
While these teams don't have much of a club appeal, they are at least a boost that will cost the media more leverage.
And at this time, the media is actually really a little unable to sit still.
After all, there are a lot of discerning fans, and since the news silence, fans have been using their power to support Vardy and the minor leagues.
On the first day, there was no news of their interview in the newspaper, so I endured it; The next day is not yet, but you can bear it; If you don't have it on the third day, I won't play with you.
From the third day onwards, the sales of many Italian newspapers and magazines began to decline very significantly, and as the matter continued, it became worse and worse.
Exactly one week later, the media sadly found that their sales had dropped by 4% compared to before the news silence incident.
This is no joke, the newspaper that could have been sold for 100 copies can now only sell for 60 cents, which does not only mean a decline in sales, but simply a conversion from profit to loss.
What's even more terrifying is that if this momentum continues, then it won't be long before they can simply close their doors and announce their collapse.
What to do?
Is it really a compromise?
The problem is in front of them, a dilemma, no matter which one they choose, I am afraid there is no way to get them back to their previous state.
Uncompromising, seeing a little bit of decline in sales and attention, it may finally close its doors;
compromise, then they will not be able to attract attention in the future in a black way, and in this way, compared with the previous sales, there will actually be a certain degree of decline, of course, not to the extent of starvation, but it is absolutely impossible to eat a mouth full of oil.
One way is to be half-full and not hungry, and the other is to starve to death, I'm afraid that fools will know which way to choose, and it is better to die than to live.
It's just that they seem to have one last fight, in case they fight out of the sky.
The heads of the major media outlets approached the Italian Football Federation, hoping that they would demand that the clubs lift their news silence in the form of a decree, and if they could really get paid to the bottom of the pot, the minor leagues would be defeated.
But the question is, will the Italian Football Federation let them get their wish?
The relationship between the Italian Football Association and the media is not good, and the phonegate incident has been even more ruined, and it has been hacked enough, and almost everyone shouted and beaten, so that it has not recovered now.
And there is no rule in Serie A that the club must be interviewed by reporters, even before and after the game, there is no rule that you must attend.
Does the Italian Football Federation have to change the rules for the sake of unscrupulous media?
That's obviously impossible!
And what if they are required to attend a press conference?
The mouth grows on other people's bodies, and if they don't speak, you can't do anything!
In addition, the Italian Football Association is now a frightened bird, at least in the short term, it will not help the abuse.
Therefore, the Italian Football Association directly stated that it would neither support nor oppose the announcement of these clubs to enter the news silence, and they would not interfere.
When the attitude of the Italian Football Federation was revealed, the media were dumbfounded, and their last life-saving straw was gone.
Although they guessed that the current difficulties were only temporary, and that the fans would still come back to buy their newspapers after a long time, they really didn't dare to bet on it, what if it was just their imagination?
And worst of all, the Italian media industry is already facing a brutal reshuffle.
It was precisely because of the silence of this part of the Serie A clubs that several British media groups smelled business opportunities, and they immediately announced that they would create a branch in Italy to conduct business.
You know, the style of the British media is completely different from that of the Italian media, what if it matches the Italian taste?
And if they don't compromise, the so-called news silence of the minor leagues is only for the Italian media, not the British media, and if the British media are allowed to gain a foothold, their market share will probably drop dramatically.
This is by no means alarmist.
So, after a new round of Serie A is about to start and all the pre-match press conferences are aborted, the Italian media finally admit defeat!
All the media involved in the black people wrote a special apology on the front page, and promised that there would be no such incidents in the future, and tried to create a better environment for the development of Italian football with everyone.
As soon as the news of the media conceding defeat spread, everyone was overjoyed.
They won!
