Late at night, in the Times office building, the editor-in-chief of Conlux put down his work and stretched out a lazy tired.
There is no way to ensure the timeliness of the news. Overtime in the newspaper industry is the norm.
After the news collection, typesetting, and verification collected from various places are completed, it is already late at night. After printing overnight, it was almost dawn.
Generally speaking, when news editors leave work, that is when ordinary people go to work.
Kanglesi has been in this industry for more than ten years, before turning from a grass-roots checker to a news editor.
Years are not forgiving, long days and nights are reversed, and Kangles has successfully become a member of the bald army.
The most important thing is that the body can't keep up with it. After working for two or three hours, I feel tired.
I brewed a strong cup of coffee for myself, and when I was about to enjoy it, a familiar voice sounded.
"Mr. Conus, I just received a big news."
Looking at the young man with a happy face, Kangle seems to see himself in his youth, full of youthful vitality.
"Speak, Rodman. What have you learned?"
Frankly speaking, Kangle does not like to come to big news at this time. Today's typesetting work has been completed, and the final round of verification is now in progress, which will be printed soon.
Receiving big news at this time means that all previous work is in vain and all must be pushed back.
The Times is already the top newspaper in Britain, and it is very difficult to increase sales. Unless it is a special big news, it will be difficult to increase sales.
Everyone's income is linked to the newspaper's sales. If the newspaper's sales cannot be increased, everyone's income will not increase because of the big news.
Rodman rejoiced: "There is something serious in Central Asia. The mission we sent to Afghanistan was attacked by locals. Three staff members including the Head of Waters were killed and two staff members were injured."
Hearing this news, Kangles' face changed drastically. This is not general news and may even trigger a war.
Conus quickly asked: "Where did you get the information from, did you confirm the authenticity?"
The Times is not a street tabloid, and any news can be published. This kind of current political news must be verified to be true or false, so as not to affect its own credibility.
Rodman said with confidence: "Relax, Mr. Connors, this is news from the Telegraph Bureau.
Just now, the Foreign Secretary Sir George went to the Prime Minister ’s mansion overnight, and the news matched it. "
There is no reason why the Times can become the leading newspaper industry. It is definitely the best in the industry in terms of being well-informed.
Although it has not developed to the point of monitoring cabinet meetings, the whereabouts of high-level government officials have long been known to them.
The telegraph bureau, which is an indisputable place in the press, has been infiltrated as early as possible. Unless special news must be kept secret, there is no secret for them in general news.
Without any hesitation, Kangles immediately asserted: "Everyone stopped their work, and the newspaper tomorrow morning will be retyped."
After a pause, I looked at my watch and it was half past three in the morning, and now the revision time is too late.
Kangles immediately denied: "Forget it, no need to revise it. Do a special issue of a separate news, and now start the division of labor:
Tom, you are responsible for writing the personal resume of Walters, which can be beautified properly;
Alan, you are responsible for writing the assassination, remember to be sensational;
Michael, you are responsible for writing international relations ... "
As the editor-in-chief of news, Kangles is still very powerful. This has something to do with the audience of the Times. The readers are mainly social elites who pay attention to news and current affairs.
These customers' pockets are relatively bulging, they don't care about ordering a new newspaper, they care more about the sense of reading, and whether the news content interests them.
In this regard, the Times has done very well.
It was not only their family that received the news of the Waters assassination. If it was just a brief introduction, there would be no way to stand out from many competitors.
After working for many years, Kangles naturally knew that he suddenly decided to make a special news alone. Anyway, the readers like the inside story of these events.
...
Cats have cat lanes, rats have rat lanes. Big newspapers can get news directly from the telegraph bureau, and small newspapers also have their own listening channels.
The British Empire Times, which is not lurking in the alley, also received news, but Endry, who is also the editor-in-chief of the news, had no time to verify the truth.
Looking at the articles sent by his men, Endry immediately rejected: "All the previous content is invalid. Everyone should try hard to catch as much content as possible.
Remember our core, we must highlight new ideas, content must be tension. "
The young man was right: "But the editor-in-chief, we only know that Walters was assassinated, and we don't know exactly what happened!"
Interviewer Carina, in order to reduce operating costs, the British Empire Times likes to recruit new recruits.
Of course, since it is a newcomer, there are naturally various problems. Because of the relationship between treatment, in general, it will leave after a few months.
But this is not a problem. Whether a street tabloid like the British Empire Times can survive for a few months is a problem.
The boss and editor-in-chief of Endry frowned, considering that it was not when he lost his temper, and he patiently explained: "If you don't know, just edit it yourself!"
Do n’t forget, your job is called editing, and the core of your work is all in the word “edit”.
If everything is clear, what do you want?
Using exaggerated techniques, focusing on portraying the bravery of our murdered heroes, I would rather die than betray the interests of Britain, highlight the fierceness and evilness of the enemy ... "
the truth?
What is that, can it be eaten?
For a non-influential newspaper like the British Empire Times that does not have any reputation, it is the first place to find ways to attract people's attention and increase sales.
Word of mouth, credibility, these luxury goods in the press are not what they can expect.
"Boom boom ..."
A knock on the door sounded, interrupting everyone's work, Endry frowned, and as a newcomer Carina got up and opened the door.
"Sir, you are so late, who are you looking for?"
The man in grey said slowly, "Where is Mr. Endry, I want to talk to him about a business."
Hearing that the business came to the door, Endry was disturbed and suddenly disappeared.
You have to know that street tabloids such as the British Empire Times do not have much advertising revenue, and they all rely on the profit of selling newspapers.
The biggest extra income is this kind of secret business. For Endry, as long as someone gives money, there is no news that they dare not publish.
This can be seen from his repeated changing of vests. Today is the British Empire Times. Tomorrow is the Empire Times, and the day after tomorrow ...
Be the first to answer: "At!"
Before the voice fell, Endry greeted him with a full smile: "Old friend hasn't seen you for a long time, please come inside."
"Carina, help me make two of the best coffee."
...
The two had only collaborated, and there was no friendship, and even Endry did not know the name of the gray man.
However, this does not affect the cooperation between the two. Endry has always regarded himself as a journalist's bottom line. He has always only asked for money, but asked about the identity of the employer.
This is also the reason why he has worked for many years and published many secret news, but he has not been silenced.
The man in grey brought out an article with this cheque and handed it over, said slowly: "In the shortest time, publish the above content, this fifty pounds is yours."
Endry did not rush to answer, but read it carefully. There are rules in any industry, and street tabloids are no exception. Different news items have different prices.
In general, the more sensitive the content, the higher the price, and of course the greater the risk.
Conversely, ordinary content is similar to advertisements. The British Empire Times, a street tabloid that sells only a few thousand copies, is not worth the ads.
After a moment of effort, Endry frowned and replied: "The content is not sensitive enough to be published, but is this title too much?
In the "Prelude of the Russian Invasion of India", Your Excellency is only an assassination case, without any substantial evidence, it is so far away, it is too much.
Publishing it like this will affect the reputation of our newspapers, and it must be revised, such as: "Beware of Russian Invasion of India" or "Russian Conspiracy."
The result is the same anyway, and the suspicion of assassination of Walters will point to the Russians. "
Endrie's request, the gray man ignored it, only a cold sentence: "£ 55!"
Endry was very uncomfortable with his indifferent attitude towards the man in gray, but he couldn't be more arrogant in the face of the gold master.
The purchasing power of the pound is strong enough this year, and one pound can buy 100 pounds of black bread in London. (About 45 kg)
£ 55, which is equivalent to two months of profit for Endry ’s newspapers, is enough to lower his bottom line.
After hesitating for a while, Endry made a tentative offer: "I must be responsible to the newspaper for £ 60."
The gray man smiled slightly, and readily took out £ 10 and handed it over. After waiting for Endry to continue speaking, he turned and left.
