"Bang bang bang..."

Andy looked ahead with a smile on his face, ignoring the reporters who had surrounded his car and slapped the window glass desperately, but his naturally drooped hands clenched into fists, and then let go to relieve his inner excitement.

The comments at the press conference surprised all the reporters, and also mentioned everyone's concerns about the print media. It was also because of a summary that made the media feel Andy's confidence and ambition for running the print media well.

This is undoubtedly an exciting breeze in the generally twilight media industry. No one will overstate Andy's age and overestimate himself, because the New York Observer newspaper he acquired last year not only turned losses into profits, but also left New York State and spread sales to the United States.

This is simply incredible. Against the backdrop of the overall sales of the paper media environment and the shrinking market, "Observer" actually went up against the market, shocking everyone's chins and swelling the faces of the media and reporters who had ridiculed Andy Smith.

A special issue made the media and celebrities who mocked him a laughing stock of the American people, because the editors of "Observer", who are known for their spicy and hot comments, almost racked their brains and did their best to mock them, and all kinds of hateful comments marked on the top of their heads like no money.

It also makes everyone realize the vengeance of this young man known as a genius.

Now, just now, this young man who was only 22 years old was so young that he was not very good, bought the News Weekly, which had just celebrated his 74th birthday with one dollar, which influenced several generations of American people and reshaped the values ​​of the post-war American imperialism.

It directly triggered the excitement points of all media at the press conference, and the huge news value made all reporters crazy.

1 USD, 22 years old, 74 years old!

These three keywords are now developed in the Internet, like having wings. No, they should have had several pairs of wings centered on Washington and spreading to all directions, all the countries that Newsweek radiate to...

"Hey, my dear, have you seen the news that Andy Smith acquired Newsweek?" Wendy Murdoch sat on the sofa in her living room at home, looking at the fox news channel, holding the phone, still with a surprised expression on her face.

"Haha, I just found out that he is such a powerful young man. He only used one dollar to turn a acquisition of a mess into a big news that has attracted worldwide attention..."

Wendy Murdoch listened to her husband's explanation and couldn't help but open his lips, not knowing what to say.

However, what her husband said is true. The dilemma faced by Newsweek is not a secret in the industry. Anyone who takes over needs to invest money to support the newspaper for a long time. In the general environment, they may even be deeply trapped in this quagmire.

But now this dollar has made Newsweek, which has already declined its influence, appear in front of the people of the United States, and it has occupied the main page of news reports in the next period of time by flooding the screen.

"Bang!"

"God! Tell me, it's not because I'm crazy..."

"Irving, what's wrong with you... God!"

As an editor who has worked for Newsweek for fifteen years, Owen Matthews looked at the front page headlines on the open web page, and the teacup in his hand fell on the floor, and was stunned and couldn't say a word.

The colleague next to him looked over with concern and was also shocked by the news title.

"The newspaper was acquired by one dollar..."

I don’t know who stood up and shouted in a trembling voice. The atmosphere in the newspaper office, which was already in a strange atmosphere, became even heavier. Everyone felt the depression covered with dark clouds. Only then did they remember who the team of Wall Street elites stationed in the conference room a few days ago were, and what were they doing!

"bite!"

"bite!"……

All the staff of the newspaper sent emails on their computers.

Everyone kept sitting quietly in front of the computer and opened the email.

"Hello, my colleagues at the weekly magazine, I am Andy Smith, your new boss. I think everyone has learned about everything that happened in Washington before through various channels...

From the challenges of the Internet, the US newspaper industry is increasingly entering an unprecedented bottleneck. The former newspaper empires are looking for a way out in a difficult journey.

What's black and white and is almost done?

newspaper!

Although it is ruthless, it is a fact. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Distribution and Review reported that as of February this year, the circulation of 507 U.S. Daily and Evening News fell by 4.64% in six months, with only 38.16 million copies, compared with 4 million copies in the same period last year.

Advertising revenue was affected. Statistics from the American Press Association showed that the advertising yield of printed newspapers and online newspapers fell by 18.1 percentage points in the first quarter of 2007. This is the downward trend of advertising revenue for six consecutive quarters.

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

The situation worsens to such an unprecedented situation. Many decision makers are not right in dealing with this problem. They pay too much attention to how much they invest, and this will gradually lose the influence of their own products.

My arrival cannot change the general trend of shrinking the paper media market. Of course, it will not change the tradition of weekly magazines and reduce paper publishing to deviate the distribution method of electronic versions.

We are facing huge challenges in the future. I hope that all colleagues can continue to live with the newspaper through thick and thin.

I will stay in Washington for a while, but I believe we will meet soon. Here, thank you for your hard work.

Andy Smith.”

In the extremely quiet office lobby, I don’t know if it was the female editor who said to herself: “The new boss is really young and handsome…”

"Puff!"

"Stop being crazy, look, this is his girlfriend, the daughter of a wealthy family..."

Then the entire newspaper quickly regained its vitality, and some people gathered together to browse the latest reports.

Although Andy's email could not completely dispel everyone's concerns, it at least played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. A boss who is very familiar with the media industry undoubtedly made the worries of laymen who were worried about disappear.

At the same time, the three major TV stations in the United States and various cable TV networks are reporting on this matter in a split-screen manner. The three major TV stations even invited guests to conduct special discussions and analysis in the studio.

It also allowed the American people to clearly understand the difficulties and unchangeable trends faced by traditional American print media for the first time.

In the 10,000 card luxury suite at p International Hotel, Andy was smiling tirelessly and thanking me for the first time.

Ivana's eyes were narrowed into crescent moons, with rich expressions, slightly tilted her chin, gently shaking the people on the phone and chatting.

Almost at the end, both of them hung up the phone in their hands and smiled at each other. Ivana hugged Andy's arm tightly and smiled happily: "It's really crazy. I have received several TV interview calls. The three major TV stations want me to go on their news comments. Oh my God, they know they can't invite you, so they focus on me..."

Andy twitched his arms, hugged her in his arms, gently stroked her back, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "If you like it, go."

"That's not possible." Ivana raised her head and looked at Andy with bright eyes. "There is only two days to prepare for the dinner, which is the top priority. I don't have time to participate in any TV interviews. I will discuss with the hotel management in the afternoon. After all, the dinner invites guests not only a large number of people, but also very important. It almost covers the entire American power center. Whether it is security or ingredients, I need to personally inquire about these things. There cannot be any mistakes..."

Andy chuckled and looked at Ivana, who had a pretty face flushed because of excitement, and it seemed that the troublesome and trivial things she said were willing to accept for her.
