Chapter 410 "House of Cards"

"I have no intention of interfering, and will not interfere with the weekly principle of fair reporting, nor will I interfere in the editorial version..."

Andy sat on the front seat of the conference table and looked around with a smile for a week. He paused on everyone who came to the conference. He knew that someone would worry that his arrival would change the liberal style of Newsweek, so he gave everyone a reassurance first.

Of course, Andy would not let the weekly continue to bite the White House like a mad dog like before. In Guantanamo's report in 2005, News Weekly was indeed a big hit, but within a few days it was swollen by the White House and the Pentagon, pressed to the ground and kicked it wildly. In the end, it had to publicly withdraw the report and it was on the blacklist since then.

When it comes to issues targeting Washington and the White House, News Weekly has always taken the lead. It is not unfair to be deliberately targeted and suppressed.

A prominent dinner, everyone seems to have seen that Newsweek will ease the government even more in future reports.

In fact, this is the most indifferent to Andy's opinion. As long as Washington's bottom line is controlled, the president and the government should still criticize it, but they should praise it.

"Of course, this is a question about content. I have discussed daily administrative management with Jon before. I will introduce an eO to manage the newspaper's administration, personnel and finance. To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with the current management of the newspaper and have great management loopholes.

As for the plan to increase the price of weekly subscriptions and reduce the number of printings, don’t mention it anymore. This idea is simply a nightmare. “I look forward to a magnificent transformation from old age to a new generation from a media to a full of vitality.

Andy did not look at Jon Micham, who had always wanted to use this method to reduce losses, but continued to smile and say in a slightly awkward atmosphere at the right time.

"In the 1930s, many wealthy people used their money to buy newspapers, and they would pay for their own losses for many years. In that era, there were people who had strong financial resources and abundant resources, and were willing to devote themselves to journalism. Well, it seems that they might be returning to that era now..."

Andy's words made everyone sitting, including Jon, who was a little embarrassed by the bad idea, look at him with a weird expression.

"Haha, it sounds like a billionaire with a strong sense of public responsibility, like a person who emerged from the craziest dream of an executive at a newspaper?

I will allocate $10 million from my own private account to the newspaper, plus the few advertising contracts you signed in Washington by Jon, I think the newspaper’s losses before will not be a trouble for everyone!”

Andy's words made the atmosphere of the meeting immediately liven up. To be honest, everyone really doesn't know much about the new boss's character. Although they have also learned from the perspective of the new boss's management method for the Observer newspaper, after all, News Weekly and Observer have very different sizes and influences. Who can guarantee that the new boss will not wield a big knife to lay off employees on News Weekly?

Now that the boss is willing to invest in his own words, it at least means that the person who is sitting has basically saved his job. This is more real and happy than shouting ten thousand words of encouragement.

The atmosphere was obviously eased, and everyone's tense expressions relaxed. Andy knew what these people thought. To put it bluntly, this meeting was a one-man show for his own to let his subordinates have an understanding of their personality, purpose, and concepts. There was no need to discuss, they just needed to listen.

"Haha, to be honest, I also want the newspaper to turn losses into profits as quickly as possible, but the overall decline of the print media market cannot be changed by individuals. Really, I have thought about using the Observer method, which is serialized novels, but News Weekly is a serious newspaper and an in-depth report after all. If the novel is serialized, the entertainment that I least want to see is inevitable, and it will even disappoint our subscribers..."

"Ahem...Boss..."

Everyone looked at Owen Matthews, who looked embarrassed and interrupted the new boss's speech. Everyone's expressions were different, with concerns and doubts.

"Irving, do you have any good suggestions?" Andy asked with a smile instead of being annoyed by Irving Matthews' sudden intrusion.

"I'm sorry, the boss, mainly the serialized novels mentioned by the boss just now. In fact, we have considered this aspect before. In order to increase the readability of the weekly magazine, we also thought about whether the signed column could be introduced into the novel serialization. However, the characteristics of the news weekly itself determine that there are certain requirements for the serialized novels. However, although the boss's "The Hunger Games" has a large entertainment component, the political satire in the story can be serialized in the weekly magazine..."

Andy looked at Owen Matthews with a wry smile. He dared to think that the best-selling novels like "The Hunger Games" are serialized in newspapers unless Andy really wants to be unable to get along with the money.

Jon Micham was so anxious when he saw his big boss looking distracted. To be honest, after seeing Pitt Kaplan in Washington, he was very excited by the various flaunts he showed in front of him. Not to mention turning losses into profits, the daily newspaper was founded. The Observer alone held two boss serial novels, which made him envious. It was all money. Thinking of the proceeds of Pitt talking about the filming of TV series with TV stations, he was envious.

"Boss, although our newspaper has no precedent for serializing novels, we can try it. As long as it is the boss's creation, it will definitely be very popular!" Jon doesn't care about the entertainment of Nima. As long as it can increase sales, let alone novels, they can draw comics.

Andy looked at Jon with an anxious look and couldn't help laughing: "Jon, are you listening to Pete bragging about you? The situations of the two newspapers are different. Although they are comprehensive weekly magazines, their influence is different. You must be cautious in entertainment content. After all, most of the truly loyal subscribers are old customers."

"Boss, you can write a novel about politics. If you can, ahem, I know this is a bit..."

Andy frowned slightly, and directly waved his hand to interrupt Jon's request, who was in awkward and entangled relationship, reached out to touch his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Speaking of novels on political themes, there is really a TV series in his mind that is suitable for re-restorement into novels. The story tells the story of a cold-blooded and ruthless American Congressman and his equally ambitious wife operating power in the White House in Washington.

That's right, it's the world-wide political TV series "House of Cards" starring Kevin Spacey

The entire office fell into silence. After everyone stared at each other with big eyes, they looked at the young boss who was frowning and changing his expressions on his face.

Andy is really in a tangle. "House of Cards" is definitely a TV series (novel) with a classic political theme. The story focuses on the drawbacks of American politics. He is not worried about anything else, but the only thing he is worried about is the reaction of the people.

In the United States, it doesn’t take special courage to describe the shady scenes of politics. No one will persecute you, but writing this novel requires solid foundation. His unique identity will make the people believe in the stories he wrote. People will say, “Look, this is revealed by a person who understands the inside story!”

"House of Cards" is a palace drama with more intense and cruel intelligence. It is mentally tortured and exhausted, and it also tests how much pain people can endure, such as the political darkness it shows.

Andy hesitated a little, pulled his thoughts back to reality, squeezed out a smile to everyone, and said apologetically: "Sorry, everyone, a story inspiration appeared just now. As for the novel serialization issue, I will consider this."

Seeing everyone relieved, Andy's voice changed and became cold and serious, and his whole aura became more and more urgent.

"However, the most important thing in our weekly magazine is current affairs commentary and in-depth reporting. Although this requires manpower and material resources, we cannot put the cart before the horse, and we cannot give up our advantages and crouch in a corner, and be the new Internet!

We are powerful news giants, not ordinary members of countless adventurers in the Internet age!
