Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 669 Consortium Media Regime

  In addition to TV stations, newspapers are also an essential media tool.

   Among the western developed countries, the British newspaper industry is the most developed. Even in the later Internet era, when the newspaper industry in many countries has declined sharply, the British newspaper industry has inevitably declined due to the impact of the environment.

   But unlike newspaper companies in other countries that either went bankrupt or operated at a loss, the British newspaper media, even in the 21st century, can operate very well.

  Britain is the first country where newspapers appeared. Its history can be traced back hundreds of years, especially when the British dominated for more than a century. British newspapers circulated around the world. Over the years, British people have become accustomed to reading newspapers.

   is like Xiangjiang in later generations. Even though the Internet has entered people's lives, many newspapers in Xiangjiang are still alive and well.

  For this reason, the UK has always been known as the world media kingdom.

  The British newspaper industry is very developed. Large newspapers such as The Times, the Guardian, the Daily Mail and many other influential newspapers still influence the world even in the 21st century.

   The Times, the first major newspaper in the UK, has recorded every bit of British society since the 18th century, and is known as the "faithful recorder of British society".

  The Times is a newspaper that has a huge influence on politics, economy, and culture around the world. Its readership includes elites from the upper class and ordinary people at the bottom. Its content is extensive and popular with the public.

  Unfortunately, The Times has now been acquired by the media tycoon Murdoch. According to the media tycoon's habits, it is obviously impossible to buy The Times from the other party.

   Although there are not many TV stations in the UK, there are a lot of newspapers. With the implementation of the privatization bill, it is no problem to acquire a few newspapers.

   With The Times in front, as long as he is willing to pay, even a well-known newspaper such as the Guardian and the Daily Mail will have a chance to win it.

Hearing that Yang Chen not only wanted to buy a TV station, but also planned to buy a British newspaper, especially when the other party was staring straight at her, Alyssa couldn't help but ask weakly, "Chen, do you want me to be responsible for this for you? thing?"

   Yang Chen nodded and said, "That's what it means."

  Alyssa frowned slightly, her little face even more bitter.

   Seeing Alisha's face showing bitterness, Yang Chen touched it, and said softly: "Of course, the premise is that you are willing, now YAA has Angela in charge, and with her around, you can't do anything.

  I think she has handed over everything that she should have handed over to you during this time, and you have also learned what you should have learned. Now it's time to practice.

  Practice can bring out the truth. If you keep following Angela like this, you will lose your mind over time.

  I hope you can be on your own, instead of being Angela's shadow, she can make some commendable achievements, and I believe you can too. "

  Alyssa didn't speak, she seemed to be thinking about something quietly. During this time, she had indeed been learning from Angela's side, and she was smart and learned a lot from it.

   But let her be on her own. To be honest, Angela is a bit clueless, not that she has no confidence in herself, but mainly because she has no deep exposure to the media industry.

   Yang Chen couldn't help but continue: "As the times develop, the influence of the media industry will become greater and greater, especially the influence on politics.

   Every election in the general election requires media publicity. As the political involvement becomes deeper, the voice and influence of the media will increase.

  My business cannot be limited to Asia, and I am very optimistic about Europe, but the cultural differences between the East and the West doom me to have a greater influence if I want to establish a foothold in Europe.

  Otherwise, those competitors will secretly slander me in the newspapers, freedom of speech, which is the good side of Britain, but at the same time the worst side.

  I have to have my own voice, otherwise, when I meet a stronger opponent that day, a few words from them may make me feel bad. "

  In Western history, after the separation of church and state was achieved, the state power has always been one-sided.

   In order to limit the super power of the state power, the West proposed the separation of executive, judicial and legislative powers.

   Today, the old separation of powers structure has long been deconstructed and replaced by a new type of separation of powers, consortium, media and government.

   That's right, the consortium, the 'media' and the regime.

   The three correspond to money, voice and rights.

   In this world, whoever has the right to speak can represent all the people&will.

   With the emergence of the so-called freedom, democracy & democracy, democracy & will, the regimes of Western countries have been weakened to the lowest point in history, while the role of the media has reached the highest point in history.

   And the media is controlled by the consortium, why the West is a capitalist society, that is because the consortium not only controls the media, but also controls the political power.

In the following decades, until the 21st century, Western capitalist countries have increasingly focused on elections. For politicians and political parties, elections, in a sense, have surpassed governance and achievements themselves, and become The most important political event in the West.

   This makes the tendency of "election first" appear in Western political life.

   For a politician, only by winning the election can he come to power.

   In order to win the election, one needs sufficient money, and the other is the implicit and explicit support of the media.

  Murdering hearts, in the new era in the future, knives and guns are not the sharpest weapons to kill a person.

   With the development of the times, a report in the news media is really the most lethal weapon.

   It doesn't matter who it is, from politicians with high power and high positions to businessmen and commoners, as long as you seize the opportunity, you will think of heaven and hell.

Look at the prime minister election of the empire where the sun never sets. Instead of thinking about how to govern the country, each candidate will expose their own black material, ranging from crime to bed-wetting at the age of three, all in front of the media Self-destruction of black history.

What for?

   It’s not just the fear of being exposed by others and losing people’s votes.

   It can be seen that the British media is so powerful that it has forced a group of top leaders of a country to this level.

  Why is Murdoch, the later newspaper tycoon so good?

   It's not because he has control over the news media of many countries, no matter who is dissatisfied with him, even if that person is a prince or a president, he can only hold back and cannot do anything to him.

  No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, even if they are right, they can make any excuses.

   Mastering the media channels means mastering the right to speak.

   Especially in western developed countries, the role of the media in politics and life has become more and more important.

   As an empire that once colonized the world, the United Kingdom has power all over the world, and the areas involved in media companies are also very extensive.

   As long as he can occupy a place in the British media industry, he can have a certain right to speak in Europe and even the world.
