Chapter 396: The Newspaper's Position (1)
(Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a ticket! )
After the pre-editorial meeting, Li Yaoyang finally met Colonel McCormitt, who was not good-looking, but his momentum made people look sideways.
But as he has been told to be, this man is a staunch white supremacist who doesn't have a good face for anyone other than white.
Even a player like Li Yaoyang, who has already achieved fame, doesn't seem to be able to be put in his eyes.
The first meeting between the two took place in a rather awkward atmosphere, and Cecil was a little difficult to get caught in the middle.
But no one tore their faces, after all, Cecil's face was so big that even McCormit had to worry a lot.
After a brief exchange, Cecil's voice changed:
"The Atlantic City Daily Journal's average daily sales are around 200,000, and the latest weekend issue can reach 350,000, which is a force to be reckoned with.
In addition, Lee has a close relationship with The New York Times, and some of the former employees of the Philadelphia Inquirer now work for the Atlantic City Journal..."
McCormit wrinkled his eyebrows and asked:
"What do you mean?"
"If you can, why not form allies? With the strength of your families, if you form an alliance, I'm afraid there is nothing that can't be done. ”
McCormit was stunned:
"Alliance?"
He glanced at Li Yaoyang:
"Is this what you think?"
"Almost, in short, cooperation can be a win-win situation, we can call for news and reach a consensus of public opinion..."
McCormit shook his head categorically:
"No, it can't be!"
"What?" Li Yaoyang thought about being rejected, but he didn't expect to be rejected so simply.
"You are liberals, I am a staunch conservative, not a person at all, don't force yourself to get together."
It is true that there are liberal and conservative news media in ugly countries, and there are very few media that can maintain complete neutrality and impartiality in politics.
Liberty to the left, like to eat donkey meat; Conservatives lean to the right and love to ride around elephants in circles.
Today, the mainstream media is largely under the elephant, but after seventy or eighty years, most of the media is dominated by liberals, and liberal cultural philosophies and ideologies have long been dominant.
Among several major newspapers, the New York Times is a well-deserved leader of the donkey family, and strives to cultivate the donkey family; The Washington Post is on par with it, and because it is located in the capital, it is particularly adept at reporting on domestic political developments in ugly countries;
Although the later "USA Today" was not as good as the first two newspapers, it had the second largest circulation in the United States and was also a member of the Zuoying tent.
Regional daily newspapers, such as the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, the Newsday, the New York Daily News, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Detroit Free Press, all took a distinctly liberal stance.
The Houston Chronicle and the New York Herald are also left-of-center newspapers.
The leftist lineup can be described as neat and strong, but the rightist lineup is a bit unsatisfactory:
The Wall Street Journal is a rightist bigwig, and there are not many other newspapers that are more conservative and slightly right-leaning.
Some influential ones include the New York Post, the Washington Times, and the New York Sun.
Generally, the right-wing media is only a "watchdog" role, but the Washington Times is an active "attack dog".
The Financial Times, a major British international newspaper headquartered in London, is well-known all over the world for its credibility and has become a highly rated flower among the rightists in the ugly country.
Of course, the Chicago Tribune of this period was also one of the high-ranking thugs on the right, often staging full-fledged firepower.
To be honest, in terms of media influence alone, the future generations are far less than they are now, and there are several important constraints.
The first is the professional training and idealism of editors and reporters.
In the country, the starting salaries of university journalism graduates are lower than those of undergraduates in all other industries.
After 100 years, the average annual starting salary for journalism graduates is only about $31,000.
Nurses, legal assistants, elementary school teachers, including bus drivers in San Francisco, all earn more than $30,000.
The main reason for the low starting salary of journalism graduates is that there are too many people who want to be journalists, and the market is moderated by salary cuts.
This also proves from another aspect that most of the people who want to be journalists have a liberal complex, prefer donkeys, and they do not use their careers as a way to make money, but as a channel and opportunity to realize their beautiful dreams.
Coupled with the control of a few wealthy people and conglomerates, the ugly national media.
From newspapers and magazines to television, movies and radio, 90% is owned by Jews.
The media needs to be subordinated to their interests and will, and Hollywood's film industry was founded by Jews from scratch, with Hollywood's six founding production companies:
The founders of Warner Bros., Universal, MGM, Columbia, Fox, and Paramount were almost all Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Polar Bear.
It can be said that the Ugly Country Jewish Consortium has actually basically controlled and dominated the mass news and entertainment, film and television media in the Ugly Country.
If the poor people of African and Latino who eat welfare are a fixed source of votes for the donkey family, then the Jews of the ugly country are a group of fixed money for the donkey family.
This also explains why most ugly national media outlets take a liberal stance.
I may not have known about it before, but since I started the Atlantic City Daily, Li Yaoyang has deeply understood one truth - editorials are the soul of a newspaper.
Although the ugly national newspaper is a model of press freedom, its editorials are generally very tendentious, so it is often easy to see whether the newspaper is liberal or conservative, in other words, more donkey or elephant.
Although newspapers vary in the surname "elephant" or "donkey", the common denominator of ugly newspapers is that conservative newspapers emphasize tendencies more than liberal newspapers.
Although liberal newspapers are more likely to agree with the views of the ruling donkeys, they will still spare no effort to jump out and criticize when they disagree with certain policies of the current leadership.
Conservative newspapers are much more critical of the ruling donkey than liberal newspapers are of the ruling elephant government.
Conservative newspapers have used more sensational and offensive language when attacking the donkey government.
Conservative newspapers are more likely to talk about "party spirit" because they have fewer "troubled conscience" problems with the parties they support.
Take the New York Times and the Washington Post, for example, they have a different attitude and a different mode of journalism.
They have retained an old-fashioned, somewhat outdated, and perhaps increasingly challenged model, and they are trying to establish their independence and norms and, more often, to show the critical nature of the news media.
In other words, the early media was actually completely party media, which is why the media on the right now have more right to speak.
In the nineteenth century, most of the media in the ugly country were small, mainly newspapers, and the circulation was generally a few thousand copies.
At that time, there was no technological revolution in typesetting, there was no high-speed printing press, and there was no developed industry and commerce to provide advertising funds for it, and the way for the media to survive was to rely on political parties.
There is no mistake, it is precisely because the nature of the media is private and it pursues commercial interests that the media has become a party media.
First of all, it is necessary to mention that the system of the ugly country is called the fat distribution system, and after the boss takes office, he can directly appoint a large number of officials, and they are not elected or selected through competition in the civil service.
That's why people usually call them "politically appointed public officials", also known as political officials.
This practice of appointing cronies and supporters in return for politics can be traced back to the early 19th century when the "party fat sharing system," also known as the hunter system, was proposed by Senator William Renid Marcy of New York.
The name feels a bit like a spoiler, which is actually it.
When the boss won the election, he could assign various positions in the government to his supporters, relatives and friends as a reward for helping them win.
In fact, the first to do so was Jackson, who was the first real commoner boss in the history of the ugly country, representing the public opinion in the west, the south and the bottom of society, and relying on populism to break the monopoly of traditional elites and elites.
After he came to power, he removed many old bureaucrats, because he did not believe that these well-dressed politicians who were full of falsehoods replaced them with their own supporters and cronies by dividing them.
Jackson became the boss, replacing 10 percent of federal employees in his first year, 20 percent in his first term, and 50 percent in his second term.
These new federal employees are required to pay 3%-5% of all their salaries to their gangs according to partisan tradition, so the gangs do not need to raise funds at this time, and they have a stable source of income.
The most interesting thing is that the ballot papers at that time were not produced by the federal union like the current ones, but were made by the gangs themselves, which had a special color and were open to the public.
This allows the gang to send people to scrutinize and count the amount of each person's contribution.
For example, how many people in the community in charge of such and such a person have voted for the gang can be counted according to this number after the election, and the merit will be rewarded.
At this time, the general election is actually a similar head-intensive promotion model, rather than the current capital-intensive promotion model.
It was not until the end of the 19th century that the civil service examination system was introduced, and the ballot papers were uniformly printed and secretly voted for, and the large-scale job distribution system was basically over.
However, the later ugly country still retains the remnants of this system, and after the boss wins the election, there are still nearly 1,000 positions that can be assigned, and the generals who have contributed to the election can still get some important positions.
The political division system began in 1828, and one of the most important people assigned to the post after a victory in the election was a member of the media.
When Jackson was elected boss, he appointed a total of 57 newspaper editors to a variety of positions, most of which were post office chiefs or customs officials.
These editors were all because they supported him in the election campaign and worked hard to advocate for him, so they got such a fat difference, and this political remuneration system is also called the fat distribution system.
In addition to being rewarded with federal government positions, the ugly government also has a large number of official documents that need to be announced in the newspapers every year.
Since there is no public media in the ugly country, these businesses become an important source of income for private media.
Those who do not support the elected candidates at the time of the election will naturally not get these services, and the media that will be fully vocal about the candidates at the time of the election should be supported by these funds.
Newspapers, which rely heavily on government blood transfusions, will also desperately support their candidates in the general election.
Because they know that if they say that the candidate they support loses the election, it is very likely that it will be a matter of life and death for themselves.
As soon as they join them and lose, the money, which is theoretically to be given to the position, will not exist, and the newspaper will have to lay off employees without these funds, and it may go out of business.
At this time, the media could not talk about anything objective and fair, as long as it was a political activity, they must belong to a certain party, and it was impossible to look at things from an objective point of view, but they were more radical than normal people to support the belonging gangs.
Even the larger media editors are the core members and decision-makers of the campaign team.
Boss Jackson, for example, has five of the most important advisers on his campaign, three of whom are editors in the media.
One of the most important editors was appointed the nation's post office chief after Jackson's election as president.
At this time, the media editors of the ugly country were basically the public opinion thugs of politicians.
Therefore, the media in the ugly country before the twentieth century, because they could not realize their own commercial interests, could only rely on political parties, and the media essentially belonged to the party media.
Even in an election year, thousands of newspapers can pop up with one purpose in mind: to help candidates get elected.
It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that independent media began to emerge, why?
Essentially, it is an economic reason, that is, the emergence of new technologies and new business models that allow newspapers to become independent, self-reliant and self-sustaining.
Newspapers no longer have to rely on gangs to survive.
The media business revolution that began at the end of the 19th century not only freed the media from the demand for major gangs, but also developed into a huge business empire, and even media conglomerates.
At the end of the 19th century, the country became the world's largest economic power, accompanied by the high concentration of urban population, various new technological inventions, and a large number of people with spending power began to appear.
Media is starting to become an important consumer product.
The concentration of urban population has reduced the cost of distributing newspapers, the technological revolution has reduced the cost of producing newspapers, and the development of the economy has led to more and more educated people.
But the most revolutionary change came from a change in the revenue model of newspapers.
Originally, the media income depended on the expenses of the gang and the profit of the winning boss, and the media as an enterprise had no more revenue channels.
However, the boom in the industrial and commercial economy has brought about a large number of enterprises to begin to have advertising needs, and the consumer goods market has officially begun to start.
At this time, the media created a new media business model, which is to lose money in distribution and make money in advertising.
