American Fortune Life

“Boom, boom... ”

Andy looked forward with a smile on his face, ignoring that the reporters who had surrounded him with his caravan had slapped the windows so desperately, only to hold his naturally dripping hands into fists and then loosen up to relieve his inner agitation.

That statement at the press conference surprised all the reporters and spoke of everyone's concerns about the paper media, and the summing up made the media feel Andy's confidence and acumen in running good paper publishing.

This is undoubtedly an exhilarating breeze for the generally twilight media, and no one will go too far to ridicule Andy's age and selfishness, as the New York Observer newspaper he acquired last year was not only a windfall, but also a spreading sale out of New York State to the entire United States.

This is an incredible thing. Against the backdrop of the overall decline in sales in the large paper-based environment and the shrinking market, Observer went up against the market, shocking everyone's chin and swelling the faces of the media and journalists who ridiculed Andy Smith.

In a special issue, the media and celebrities who ridiculed him became the laughingstock of the American public, because the editors of Observers, who were known for their spicy reviews, were almost brainwashed and ridiculous, and the hate comments were labeled on top of their heads like money.

It also made you realize that this young man, known as the genius, must be rewarded.

Now, just now, this young man, who was only 22 years younger than before, bought, for a dollar, Newsweek magazine, which had just completed his 74th birthday, affecting generations in the United States and reshaping the post-war values of the American Emperor.

Directly detonated the excitement of all media outlets at the press conference site, the tremendous news value, driving all journalists crazy.

$1, 22 years old, 74 years old!

The three keywords are now developed on the Internet, like wings plugged in, no, they should be plugged in a number of countries whose wings radiate around Washington, D.C., all over the United States, all over Newsweek.

“Hey, honey, have you seen Andy Smith acquire Newsweek News?” Wendy Murdoch sat on the sofa in the living room at home, watching FOX News Channel, holding the phone and still having a surprise look on her face.

“Oh, just so you know, what an amazing young man, for a dollar, turning a takeover of a mess into a world-famous piece of news... ”

Wendy Murdoch listened to her husband's explanation and couldn't help but close her lips without knowing what to say.

However, what his husband said is true. The dilemma faced by Newsweek is no secret in the industry. Anyone who takes over needs to invest in supporting the newspaper for a short period of time. In the general environment, it is even possible to get into this muddy pool.

But now, this dollar, the Weekly News magazine, which used to downhill its influence, appears here in front of the American public and is the main page of news coverage in the coming period by brushing the screen.

“Bang!”

“God, tell me, it's not because I'm crazy... ”

“Owen, what's wrong with you... Jesus Christ!”

Owen Matthews, an editor who worked for Newsweek for fifteen years, looked at the headlines on the open web page, and the cup in his hand fell on the floor, staring at him and not saying a word.

The probe that my colleagues next to me are interested in seemed equally shocked by the headlines.

“The newspaper was bought by a dollar... ”

I don't know who stood up and shouted with a trembling voice, the atmosphere in the newspaper office that was already in the strange atmosphere became even heavier, everyone felt the depression of the cloud cover, they just remembered who the team Jing Ying was stationed in the conference room the other day, what was going on!

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

E-mail tones were made on the computers of all newspaper staff.

Everyone sat quietly in front of the computer and opened the email.

“Hi colleagues, I'm Andy Smith, your new boss. I think you've learned from various sources what happened in Washington before...

American newspapers are increasingly entering unprecedented bottlenecks due to the challenges of the Internet. In the past, the empire of the daily newspaper was searching for a way out on a difficult journey.

What's black and white and it's almost over?

Newspaper!

It's a heartless story, but it's a fact that, as of February of this year, 507 U.S. daily and evening newspapers had fallen by 4.64 per cent to 38.16 million, compared to 400.2 million in the same period last year.

Advertising revenue is then affected. American Newspapers Association statistics show a 18.1 percentage point drop in returns on print and online newspaper advertisements in the first quarter of 2007. This is a downward trend in advertising revenue for the sixth consecutive quarter.

The economic model of newspaper operations can no longer continue to work!

This situation has deteriorated to such an unprecedented extent. And it's not the right way for many decision makers to deal with this issue, too much focus on how much cost is invested, which gradually loses the influence of their products.

My arrival will not change the shrinking of the paper market, and of course, it will not change the tradition of weekly magazines, cutting back on paper publishing to deflect the distribution of electronic editions.

We are facing enormous challenges in the future, and I hope that colleagues will be able to join the newspaper as usual.

I will also be in Washington for a while, but I am confident that we will meet soon, and here I thank my colleagues for their hard work.

Andy Smith. ”

In an unusually quiet office hall, the woman editor said to herself: “The new boss, he's really young and handsome... ”

“Pfft! ”

“Don't be silly, look, this is his girlfriend, Homen Kim Kim... ”

This was followed by a rapid revitalization of the newspaper as a whole, with some gathered to view the latest stories.

Andy's e-mail, while not completely allaying people's concerns, at least served to stabilize the military, a boss who was familiar with the media industry and undoubtedly worried about outsiders going wild and disappearing.

Meanwhile, all three major television stations in the United States, cable networks, are covering the matter in a single spot, and even the three major television stations are directly in the studio to invite guests for a special discussion and analysis.

It is also the first time that the American public is clearly aware of the dilemmas faced by traditional United States paper media and the immutable trends.

andy is tired of smiling in his 10,000 card deluxe suite at CP International Hotel, thanking him for not knowing how many congratulatory calls.

And Ivana smiled with her eyes all moon-toothed, expressive, slightly leaning back on her chin, gently shaking the person on the phone warmly chatting.

Almost time, they hung up the phone in their hands and smiled at each other. Ivana held Andy's arm tightly and smiled happily. “That's crazy. I got several TV interview calls. All three TV stations wanted me on their news review program. God, they knew I couldn't get you to focus on me. ”

Andy twitched his arm and held her in his arms, gently rubbing her back, his mouth slightly curled, "Go if you like. ”

“That's not gonna work.” Ivana looked up and looked at Andy, “celebrating the dinner, only two days of preparation time, that's the top priority, I don't have time to go to any TV interview, I have to discuss with the hotel management in the afternoon, after all, the number of guests invited to the dinner is not only huge, but also very important, almost encompassing the entire center of power of the United States, whether it's security or ingredients, I need to ask myself, there can be no mistake. ”

Andy smiled and looked at Ivana blushing with excitement, seemingly speaking out of her mouth about the troublesome and trivial things that were happening to her.

I can't help but think of the pictures of Ms. Kay in the mailroom showing her mastery of the social circle, perhaps in the same mood and expression that Ms. Kay had at the time when she was preparing for the party as Ivana did at the time.
