Chapter 274: I Still Have to Do It (2/6)

(Arrears Payment)

So, whether you choose to run a newspaper or a tabloid, there are certain positions that are essential, such as an editor who specializes in reading and reading.

There are also proofreaders, as well as editors who specifically apologize. ”

Li Yaoyang is strange:

"An editor who apologizes?"

"Yes, because newspapers have a lot of pages, mistakes are common, and corrections are common.

Just like the New York Times, this is an ugly, even world-famous newspaper, known for its meticulous journalism and pursuit of perfection.

They aim for 'all the news fit for print' and print it prominently on the masthead every day.

It is in such a newspaper that every day you can see a correction column in the middle of its second page, with a correction in it, and sometimes a dozen corrections.

Among these errors, there are errors in the text, errors in the arrangement of pictures, errors in the transfer of articles, and errors in the places or people involved in the report.

Not only the second edition, but sometimes you can also see some important corrections on the first edition, and sometimes an apology to the reader.

You can find relatively fixed columns in many newspapers dedicated to corrections, and some newspapers also occupy large pages.

At the bottom of the column, there is often a text such as 'Readers are welcome to criticize and make suggestions about the newspaper and report mistakes', along with the corresponding email address and telephone number.

Therefore, in the press world, there is a popular saying: any newspaper that publishes a fixed correction column is the most responsible newspaper.

If you want to run a responsible newspaper that is recognized by readers, then this column is essential, and it is best to have someone in charge of it. ”

After a pause, Rosenthal continued:

Of course, you can also have your own methods in terms of getting close to readers and getting closer to them.

One way is for the newspaper to post the contact information of the publisher, editor-in-chief, general manager and editor-in-chief of each section, such as the name, phone number, and email address, on the daily newspaper page so that readers can easily contact them.

Then the newspaper issued a request internally that all letters submitted or asked questions from the outside world should have a certain response rate.

For example, in the tabloid where I used to work, every day there is a small note at the back of our reporter's report, the main content of which tells readers how to contact the reporter.

This is a way for journalists to get more news leads, but it is also an effective way to close the relationship between journalists and readers.

At the same time, in order to get their staff close to their readers, some newspapers also regularly organize readers to visit their newspaper offices. ”

Li Yaoyang nodded:

"So we have to do a good job in reader service."

"Yes, that's what you have to do to run a good newspaper."

"I see, it sounds like you've got a good plan."

"It depends on whether you're willing to support it or not."

Rosenthal was nervous, as if an intern was coming for an interview, demanding the job.

However, this matter is too big, Li Yaoyang needs to think about it, and it is difficult to give an answer immediately.

"It's ready, let's eat." His wife greeted.

This kind of roast chicken usually does not taste too good, it may only be more flavorful on the surface, but not on the inside, after all, the chicken is too thick to taste in a short period of time.

Of course, compared to the soul food he had eaten that day, Li Yaoyang was still willing to try this family version of the food.

Moreover, she has prepared another pot of sauce very thoughtfully, and it seems that she knows very well what is wrong with this dish.

However, this chicken tastes similar to a roast turkey on Thanksgiving.

In fact, this is done the way the turkey is roasted, and like Rosenthal, his wife is a rambling man.

"I stuffed celery, onions, dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley in the belly of the chicken.

Chop them all and sauté them in butter until soft.

Then add the pre-baked rusks, add the appropriate amount of salt, black pepper, and pour in 2 cups of water to make the bread blend with the onion and celery for a more sticky texture.

The whole body of the chicken is buttered, then stuffed with these fillings, stuffed as much as possible, and finally sewn the mouth with a needle and thread.

Sprinkle basil, oregano, and dried parsley on the top and start roasting.

The size of the chicken is also different, in short, it is ready to come out of the pot until the surface is brownish-red. ”

Li Yaoyang smiled cooperatively, and then said:

"My hotel is short of a rotisserie chicken chef, and it's Thanksgiving soon, do you want to give it a try?"

It was originally a kind word, but people took it seriously;

"Really? May I? ”

"Uh~ Of course, you can try it." What else can Li Yaoyang say? If you say it yourself, you have to swallow it in your stomach if you break your teeth.

After the meal, he ate dessert, his least favorite apple pie, and then took his leave.

Before leaving, he said to Rosenthal:

"Between investing in the Enquirer and starting a new newspaper, I prefer the latter, thank you for the advice, if I make the final decision, then you will be the only editor-in-chief."

Rosenthal nodded excitedly:

"Thank you, I won't let you down."

"Wait for my news."

——————————

On the way back, Loni was curious:

"Do you really want to run a newspaper?"

"Hmm... Rosenthal is right when he says that instead of wasting time and money on endless internal friction, it's better to build something entirely your own from scratch. ”

It's like if you are a stepfather to someone, no matter how good the child is, it will always belong to someone else, so you have to give birth to your own.

"Okay, I don't know about that, but it sounds plausible."

In his opinion, Li Yaoyang will have to transform sooner or later, rather than moving into more risky areas, it is better to slowly start whitewashing, and the media is indeed a good choice.

This coincides with Li Yaoyang, he is indeed thinking about whitewashing, although he is not too dark now, but if he is held responsible, he may not be able to escape.

Of course, the road to whitewashing must be extremely long, maybe 5 years, maybe 10 years, or even 15-20 years.

But as long as the result is good, it is worth the long wait.

The reason why we chose to enter the media field is, first, that Chinese people need a sounding board; Second, the influence of public opinion is huge, like an invisible weapon for killing, as long as it is used properly.

The more he thought about it, the more determined he became, and before he returned to the villa, he made a decision.

Once inside, he informed everyone of his decision.

"What? Starting your own newspaper? Fat Dun'er was surprised.

"What? Do you want to dry laundry for the rest of your life? ”

"No, we sell good wine."

"This is not in conflict with running a newspaper, the media and the wine industry are developing in two ways, so it is safe." Li Yaoyang didn't know if he was convincing him or convincing himself, and his tone was extremely firm.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
