After coming back from the filming site, Li Yaoyang went to Columbia University by the way, but it was actually not a stopby, it was still a little far away, but he hadn't seen his little daughter-in-law for a long time, so it was worth spending some time.

Ah Xiang is not the young little girl she was now, as she grows older, her body eyebrows and eyes have grown a little bit, and she looks more feminine.

She used to have short hair, but now her hair is longer, with natural waves, and with a first-class rouge gouache, it's hard not to pay attention.

Walking on the streets of Chinatown, there are always idiots who unconsciously stop and watch, but they just dare to take a look, and it is impossible to talk to them.

Who in Chinatown doesn't know that she is the woman of Lai Yaoyang?

In other words, even if she announces her breakup with Li Yaoyang now, no one dares to chase her casually.

Of course, this possibility does not exist, first of all, Li Yaoyang is unwilling to break up, and the Liao family and his wife are even more unwilling.

"Ah Xiang, this way~" Li Yaoyang stood by the car and waved at Ah Xiang, who was looking at the school gate.

"Brother Yang~" Ah Xiang saw Li Yaoyang, and pounced like a swallow returning to the nest, and threw herself into Li Yaoyang's arms, her eyes red.

"What's wrong?" Li Yaoyang chuckled in his heart, thinking that this girl was being bullied.

"No~ It's nothing, I just miss you too much~" Ah Xiang shook her head embarrassedly.

Touching her little head, he said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately to take time to see you."

"It's okay Brother Yang, your affairs are important, and besides, we are also going on vacation, so I will accompany you in Atlantic City when the time comes."

"Okay, by the way, how are you doing? Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

"It's not difficult, but it's time to look for an internship at the beginning of the next semester, and the tutor asked us to do an internship for at least three months." Ah Xiang's chin was on Li Yaoyang's chest, and he said obediently.

"Huh? It's time for the internship? What are your thoughts? Li Yaoyang did not insist on going his own way, he respected Ah Xiang's ideas very much.

"I don't have any ideas, you can go wherever you tell me to!"

"Well~ going to the Atlantic City Journal is definitely the best choice, but it's too far away from the school, and it's inconvenient to go back and forth once there is something going on at the school.

The New York Times can too, but I can't give you the most direct care, there are pros and cons to both places, do you think about it yourself? ”

Ah Xiang said without thinking:

"Atlantic City Daily, I want to be closer to you!"

"Okay, then go to Atlantic City, I'll send you a car if there's something to do."

"Uh-huh!" Ah Xiang happily hugged Li Yaoyang, rubbing her little head one after another.

The two went to dinner together, and then went together to meet Chris Hunter, who is currently at a critical moment in his impact on the editor-in-chief and needs the help of Li Yaoyang.

——————————

"Lee, I need your help."

"That's what I'm here for, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"As long as you have money."

"How much?"

"10-150,000."

"Okay, can you make sure you take it?"

"If there are 150,000, take 100 percent!"

"OK, get back and have someone give you money, cash."

"Thank you! I won't let you down! Hunter said solemnly.

After a pause, Li Yaoyang asked rhetorically:

"I've noticed that the tone of The New York Times has changed lately."

Hunter grinned:

"You found out too? Then I would like to thank our editor-in-chief, if he hadn't insisted on going his own way, I wouldn't have had a chance to take the position. ”

Li Yaoyang raised his eyebrows:

"Is your editor-in-chief confused?"

"Hmph~ Who knows, I have to thank him, otherwise I really don't have a chance."

"Hmm~ seize the opportunity, don't miss it."

Li Yaoyang smiled, it is indeed a good opportunity, some people are like this, they are not used to staying in the field they are familiar with and doing some stable work, so they have to challenge high difficulties.

What did The New York Times start with? Of course, there is no news with color, and now I have given up my strengths and run to play with colored things, do you think there is a bubble in the brain?

100 years later, the New York Times has the impression of being an influential newspaper in the ugly national press, with a serious and solemn image.

In the minds of many ugly Chinese people, the New York Times' reports and comments on major news at home and abroad are authoritative.

One of the most famous cases is that in the 70s of the 20th century, the New York Times published a large number of classified documents about the Yue War in the Five Stars Building, and the White House tried to prevent the newspaper from publishing on the grounds of "leaking state secrets", but the New York Times won the lawsuit and attracted worldwide attention.

However, in fact, in this day and age, the New York Times does not have that kind of authoritative attributes, and is at best a first-class newspaper.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the competition in the New York press was fierce.

Due to the advent of the type casting machine and the revolution in printing technology, newspapers turned from high-end newspapers that "provided reference for ZZ families" to civilian newspapers that "sold for only one penny".

During this period, in order to compete for a large number of low-level readers, major newspapers did not hesitate to publish all kinds of bloody, murderous, and pornographic news on the front page to attract people's attention, and used sensational and exaggerated methods to arouse readers' interest.

Among the best of these were Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of Le Monde, and William Hirst, owner of the New York News.

Pulitzer and Hirst became the main players in the New York press battle, fighting a price war, poaching each other, attacking each other in their own newspapers, and competing to publish violent, pornographic, and exaggerated news to compete for readers.

And because of the competition between the two over the cartoon character "Yellow Child" in the Sunday edition of Le Monde, later generations called the chaotic and outrageous news reporting mode of this period "color news".

At the height of the competition between Pulitzer and Hirst, riots broke out in Cuba against the Spanish colonizers, and each of them incited the people of the ugly country to the war mood in the newspapers, and the atmosphere of war in the ugly country was high.

Coupled with the mysterious explosion of the USS Maine, a naval battleship in Cuba, in April 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out.

It can be said that the war was provoked by fierce competition from the New York press.

Color journalism is an inevitable process after the popularization of newspapers and periodicals, catering to the tastes and curiosity of low-level readers, and in such an environment, New York and even ugly newspapers are imitating this model of reporting news.

At its peak, one out of every three newspapers in the country used the "color journalism" model for reporting.

The New York Times was founded in 1851, but in 1896, when the competition for "yellow journalism" was fierce, the newspaper could not resist the onslaught and faced bankruptcy.

It was at this time that Adolf Oakes, a newspaperman from Cincinnati, bought it at the New York Times at its most dangerous time.

Coming from a family of German-Jewish immigrants, Oakes apprenticed in a printing office as a young man and later ran a number of successful local newspapers.

After Oakes took over, the "New York Times" has the biggest characteristic that it does not follow the trend.

In an era when headline parties were rampant on the front page and pornographic reports of murders were commonplace, The New York Times stood out from the crowd.

With the slogan "This newspaper will not defile the napkins for breakfast", Oakes established a solemn and serious image.

The serious New York Times doesn't have any headlines about homicides, pornography, and more financial and real estate news, government documents, court case records, and news coverage of Wall Street, making it unique among the many yellow newsprints.

Savvy people immediately discovered that The New York Times was simply the "business bible."

Hirst thought that such a serious and boring newspaper would soon abandon him, but Oakes quietly added "Books and Arts Supplements" and "Sunday Magazines."

The beautiful binding and interesting content immediately attracted a large group of women, and after this The New York Times gained a foothold, advertisers increased.

Adolf Oakes' insistence on distancing himself from color journalism has built the New York Times a reputation and the appointment of talented people has made the New York Times one of the major newspapers in New York for a short time, and it continues to do so today

Oaks trusts its employees and reuses talented people.

After Oches took over the New York Times, he gathered all the typesetters and told them sincerely that he had also been a typesetter by hand, and he hoped that the New York Times would become a model for the printing arts, and he believed that the typesetters would help him do it.

In 1904, Oakes hired a good editor to run the newspaper, and he was Carl van Anda.

Van Anda is a true workaholic, working 12 hours a day, seven days a week, and his pursuit of objectivity and timeliness is almost demanding, and he advocates that no expense will be paid to get news.

Coupled with his love for physics when he was young, he attached great importance to the use of new technologies such as telegraph and telephone to get the news first.

When the Russo-Japanese War broke out in 1904, Van Anda rented the world's first news telecommunications ship to report on the decisive battle between the Japanese and Russian navies in the Bohai Sea.

It was said that Oakes spared no expense for the New York Times, and Van Anda was the one who could spend the money for him.

Their insistence made The New York Times an alternative news option among the many yellow newspapers.

However, for the New York Times to become famous, it takes one of the most shocking news events.

On April 15, 1912, at 1:20 a.m., the editorial board of The New York Times received a text message from the Associated Press:

ASSOCIATED PRESS, Newfoundland Ris Point, April 14 -- At 10:25 p.m. tonight, the "Titanic" of the White Star Steamship Company issued a CQD to the Marconi radio here, claiming that it had hit an iceberg and that the Titanic was in urgent need of rescue.

Van Anda, who hadn't gotten off work yet, couldn't believe it when he saw this news, would the Titanic, the largest and most luxurious cruise ship in the world at that time, and the "unsinkable ship" with celebrities and dignitaries gathered, be shipwrecked on his maiden voyage?

Because the Titanic is so luxurious, and the first-class passengers are celebrities and dignitaries, the world's major newspapers have focused on the Titanic for concentrated coverage, and the most experienced captain of the White Star Company, Edward John Smith, is in charge, this cruise ship is called the unsinkable Titanic.

However, the reporter respected the facts, and Van Anda immediately contacted the New York office of the White Star Company, who told Van Anda categorically, "You are mistaken."

But half an hour later, the Associated Press sent another text message:

"It's sinking, the cabin is flooded because the steam engine is inaudible."

This is followed by the latest distress signal:

SOS...... SOS......

Van Anda contacted the New York Times correspondent in Halifax and learned that half an hour after the first distress signal was issued, the Titanic was no longer silent.

From this, Van Anda believes that the Titanic may have sunk.

The deadline was half past three in the morning, and within two hours, Van Anda organized the members of the editorial department to prepare the background introduction of the famous passengers of the Titanic and the large photos of the Titanic for the front page.

On April 15, the New York Times ran headlines with three straight columns wide and four rows of large characters on the front page at Van Anda's request: The new cruise ship Titanic touched an iceberg, and the bow of the ship had begun to sink in the water at midnight;

Women and children boarded lifeboats to evacuate the danger, and telecommunications were cut off after 0:27 a.m.

The first edition had a two-column wide framed message titled "Last Message from the Shipwreck"!

Most of the subsequent telegraphic releases reported that the Titanic sent a CQD distress signal to Radio Marconi at Cape Reis, encountered an iceberg, and said that the Virginia and other nearby ships received the distress signal and rushed to the area of the incident for rescue.

Straightforward reporting that the great Titanic sank.

On April 16, the well-prepared New York Times reported in more detail:

The Carpathia sailed to New York carrying 866 survivors from the Titanic lifeboat, most of them women and children.

At the same time, the "New York Times" also published a radio special article, the Titanic sank to the bottom of the sea at 2:20, and the front page published a list of survivors, as well as photos of the Titanic and Captain Smith.

The most famous front page of the New York Times report on the Titanic.

This edition lists the list of surviving passengers as well as two photos of Captain Smith and the Titanic

Compared to the New York Times, other newspapers' coverage of the Titanic appears chaotic and distorted.

The Evening Sun claimed that all the passengers were safe and sound, that the Titanic was towed to Halifax, and that four ships in the area saved the Titanic.

The front page of the Syracuse Herald told its readers that all the passengers had been rescued. This is clearly fabricating fake news.

The famous British newspaper "Daily Mirror" contradicted itself in its report: 2,300 people were in distress, all passengers were safe, and the Titanic was towed to port.

Others are more conservative and vague.

Pulitzer's Le Monde said that "the giant ship lowered its lifeboat, and the Titanic reportedly sank".

Because the press itself created the myth of the "unsinkable ship", the sinking of the Titanic made it difficult for the newspaper people to accept, and most newspapers were still fabricating the myth that the Titanic was towed to Halifax while reporting the distress, continuing the myth of "never sinking".

On the other hand, since the ships had sent telegrams, but at different times and with different information, it was inevitable that the reports would be contradictory.

For example, the Virginia received a call for help earlier and considered towing the Titanic away, but it was too far away from the incident to rescue it.

The Evening Sun and the Daily Mirror are probably the earlier telegrams.
