The annual White House Press Association dinner was held at the Hilton Hotel. In this traditional social activity of Washington news and politics, the self mocking speech of the president of the United States is bound to be a big "selling point" every year.
The White House Press Association dinner has a long history, dating back to 1921, when 50 White House journalists gathered to celebrate the arrival of their new leader, which was just a small industrial banquet. This was once regarded as a "nerd dance" dinner party by outsiders, but now, the dinner tradition has evolved from a small gathering of dozens of people to an annual grand ceremony attended by thousands of people. The president delivered a speech, and celebrities from all walks of life walked the red carpet, but there are fewer and fewer real "nerd" journalists.
In the past, to be invited to a White House press dinner, the first thing is to work for newspapers, magazines, news agencies, radio, television, or other broadcasting institutions, news aggregators.
Secondly, the applicant's main job is to attend various press conferences to report on the White House, and finally must be a content editor. If the above requirements are met, the application form can be submitted.
However, more and more seats are controlled by media organizations. They leave their seats to the company's big boss or advertisers. And the dinner has gradually changed.
Now it has become a fashion feast, and the red carpet entering the arena is not lost to the Oscar red carpet. Movie stars want to get close to the president, and journalists want to interview movie stars. The ticket seems to have become a symbol of identity, just like a group of high school students holding a party, in addition to the most powerful people in the world.
"Ivana - look here!"
"Ivana..."
A pink smoky evening dress with ruffles at the cuffs is a great way to flatter your body. No matter from the perspective of color or details, it is full of girl's feelings. The image of pregnant mother Ivana holding pregnant belly makes people look very comfortable.
Andy slowly walked across the red carpet, waving to the reporters on both sides, and walked into the Hilton Hotel. He couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't like this dinner any more."
Ivana, with a charming smile and a strange look on her face, looks at Andy and asks in a soft voice, "why?"
"don't you think it's funny? The purpose of political news reporting is to help accountability for power. When journalists and politicians talk to each other at such events, how much is left to achieve this goal? " Andy said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, which made Ivana look slightly shocked.
"To be honest, I prefer a British journalist who is proud of not being seen as decent to an American journalist who feels good and decent. When these people cross groups of famous stars and leisurely walk through the gate, they can't help but inflate themselves a little. The environment continues to tempt the invited journalists. The excitement of walking out of a restaurant for the first time with a very recognizable politician has been experienced by any political journalist. The second is a friendly conversation with politicians and officials. But these journalists deal with the same people every week, and they get to know them gradually and usually like them.
Do you think these journalists will write impartial and neutral news reports? "
At this time, Ivana walked right into the dinner hall with Andy's arm in her arm, and saw reporters and politicians in evening gowns sitting together, laughing at jokes that only insiders can understand. Such a white house reporter dinner......
"Maybe that's why people are increasingly distrustful of mainstream media." Andy whispered again, but soon smiled and nodded to a familiar politician.
It is true that in daily work, a reporter must establish a working relationship with the source. However, if we are not careful, we will unconsciously form a situation in which both sides tacitly maintain the status quo.
As news becomes more like a profession than a profession, those who report political news and those who engage in politics are more and more of the same kind of people, and these journalists will naturally think that they are equal to politicians. Of course, it's not that the media and politicians should always be enemies of each other, but journalists do need to maintain an outsider mentality in order to report honestly.
Because it weakens the possibility of honest reporting by journalists and turns professional relationships into brotherly ones. The dinner felt like an Ivy League or private school public lounge, where people of the same kind gathered. The purpose of this kind of dinner is to show that "we are all jokers", and to borrow the most common saying in the fraternity of colleges and universities, "we are all tied to one rope".
And these crafty politicians are good at using the vanity of the reporters who attend the party to emphasize how important they are to the country. At the dinner party, the blurring of the line was more serious. Journalists are under pressure to bring top political guests to their corporate counterparts. This puts the reporter in the position of asking others back.
It's not Andy Smith's affectation or how upright he is. Nothing else. It's just that PG decides his head. Who let him control a media empire? His desperate construction of the media empire is not to please some people, the tools of some forces, but to deter, speak and influence himself.But the answer bug can't do what he wants!
"From next year, all journalists from my media group will quit this White House dinner!"
Under the guidance of the waiter at the dinner party, Andy helps Ivana to her place. First, they smile and accept the greetings from the guests at the same table. Then they sit down. Andy lowers his head to Ivana and whispers out his decision.
"Well?" Ivana frowned at first, but soon understood Andy's idea, pondered the advantages and disadvantages, and then said in a low voice with a smile: "well, the purpose of political news report is to let people understand how the government operates and help to accountability for power. It's even harder to do this when olive branches are handed out. However, there is bound to be a wave of Bo. "
"I know" Andy nodded and smiled. He looked around and saw a familiar face coming. He reached for Ivana's arm and smiled: "your father is coming..."
Andy stands up and helps Ivana, who has a happy smile, face CP and his wife in white evening dress. Still familiar with the meticulous air perm, Andy smiles at Ivana and hugs CP with a smile.
"Good evening, uncle."
"Good evening, son."
CP, with a satisfied smile on his face, hugged Andy and slapped him on the back for a few times to show his closeness. CP was really very satisfied with his son-in-law to be, proud of his daughter's vision and means, and able to subdue the super golden tortoise son-in-law.
of course, he was also proud of Andy's achievements and many times he praised the TV programs and interviews. Meanwhile, he married the old political families. He also brought many benefits to the CP family. At least in New York's old money class, CP was not only a funny blonde hair, but he was running around the train with a mouthful. The playboy who often appeared in reality shows with his model wife.
At the dinner party, the CP couple were placed at the table next to Andy and Ivana. CP was also very talkative and communicated with Andy. CP suddenly looked at a direction and asked Andy, "what's the conflict between you and that Silicon Valley maniac?"
Andy is stunned. He sees CP toot his mouth in a direction. He turns around and sees Larry Ellison in a suit and his third wife sitting on a table not far away. Andy smiles and says to CP: "nothing, it's my IT company that has poached some engineers from his company. He's a little annoyed."
"Oh, but don't look down on him. This guy used to be a jerk and is very shameless." As a person of the same era, CP with big mouth and Larry Ellison with the same big mouth don't meet much, but CP, as a witness of many things, knows very well what Larry Ellison has done in the past.
"Thank you, uncle. I never look down on him." Andy smiled.
"That's good." CP nodded, turned his head and looked at Ivana's growing stomach. She leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "when are you going to get married?"
"After the baby is born, I will prepare a perfect wedding for her." Andy didn't resent it or hesitate to answer directly.
