This is the first time President of the United States has attended this dinner during his term of office. According to the Convention, Austrian sea has been the first time to shake off the burden of the first time in the White House comic dialogue, to make complaints about politicians, to Tucao the media, and to spread American humor.

make complaints about make complaints about the fact that he came back from Mexico, a flu epidemic, and gave him a warm face. He was shut up by his son because he took pictures from air force one. The vice president of Tucao make complaints about his achievements as president after he was in a rampage around the first dog of his family.

It has to be said that as the president of the United States, he must know how to use wisdom and humor to resolve all kinds of embarrassing scenes on the international and domestic stage. The textbook American humor displayed by Olympic sea viewing keeps the whole dinner party laughing.

Americans like to talk about humor. It's about politics. It can be said that, throughout the past presidents of the United States, none of them is a master of speech and jokes. Needless to say, the recognized Olympic view of the sea, zipper Dun, and even the less humorous little flying shoes also have a good practice in the "post" of the president.

“。。。 Your job is to inform the public and pursue the truth. At this time of our gathering tonight, our country and the world are facing extraordinary challenges. It's also a really tough time for news.

Like many other industries in this era of globalization, you have seen the sweeping changes, technology and communication, which have led to a sense of uncertainty and anxiety about the future. There are extraordinary and hard-working journalists all over the country. In recent days, in recent weeks, in recent months, they have lost their jobs. I know that every newspaper and media channel is in harmony with each other How to deal with these changes? Some of them are struggling to keep running. It won't be easy. Not every ending is happy unless you are Andy Smith's newspaper... Ha ha. "

"Ha ha..."

Aoguanhai did not stop laughing, showing a big white tooth, but also caused the applause and good laugh. The camera lens fell on Andy's face, who was laughing and shaking his head because of the joking. Ivana's smile was more colorful and full of pride and happiness.

This is a well-known problem in the United States. Andy Smith has never stopped buying newspapers, and several newspapers have benefited a lot from it. However, Warren Buffett recently publicly broke the newspaper industry, indicating that the newspaper industry has no value of acquisition, which makes many good people think that this is a strong evidence of the rivalry between Andy and Buffett.

"Ha ha... But it's also true. "

Ha ha...

Aoguanhai's words once again caused a chuckle, but many people in the media industry looked at Andy Smith with a little hope. After all, the media industry is really not good. It's a dream to be able to hold the big Tui of the new world's richest man. You should know that the super rich who are not bad for money and are interested in traditional paper media, except for a Murdoch, really not bad Who is it.

“。。。 As an industry, your ultimate success is quite necessary for the success of our dishes. It guarantees our system operation. Thomas Jefferson once said that if he had to choose between a government without newspapers and a newspaper without government, he would not hesitate to choose the latter. Obviously, Thomas would never compete with cable news. "

With the laughter of the guests, okouhai continued: "but his central point is to rely on a government without newspapers, a government without all kinds of indomitable and vibrant media, which is not the choice of the United States of America."

Pa pa -

there was a thunderous applause in the audience. The Olympic sea view looked around for a week, paused a little, and continued: "so... Andy, you'd better buy more newspapers. "

"Hahaha..."

When the audience laughed again, Andy could only shake his head and laugh again. Many people were not surprised by Andy's continuous ridicule towards the sea of Oklahoma. After all, the relationship between Andy and the sea of Oklahoma is not a secret.

Although aoguanhai's words are very pleasant to hear and give face to the media industry, they only satisfy the vanity of the people in the media industry, without any substantive help. However, the reality is that in the following negative economic news, there are some news that newspapers have to stop printing because of losses and change to online media, or even close down.

American newspaper giants such as San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune are facing financial crisis. The newspaper groups say they may be forced to close down following the city daily in Denver and Seattle. Like the economy as a whole, the golden age of American paper media has passed.

In this urgent reality, throughout the press dinner, the American media elites are undoubtedly full of various hopes and ideas for Andy Smith, the gold master. In the late stage of the dinner, Andy will not be quiet.

"The challenges facing newspapers are the result of many factors, including changes in the advertising environment. At the same time, the recession has clearly hit all traditional media. " Facing Bennett, senior vice president of the Newspaper Association of America, Andy said quietly, "for many newspapers, the next year is the most critical period. Maybe some newspapers will not exist in the meantime. "As for Andy's almost grim prediction, Bennett also shook his head bitterly and admitted: "the recession of the U.S. economy has led to the largest decline in advertising revenue of American newspapers since the great depression. In the first quarter of this year, advertising revenue in some newspapers will fall by 30%.

What American newspapers need most now is for traditional advertisers to resume advertising spending. If newspapers have a 15% to 20% drop in revenue for three, four or even five years in a row, they will go bankrupt. No industry can survive in this situation.

I sincerely hope that if the economy starts to stabilize, the newspaper's advertising revenue will also stabilize. After cutting costs, newspapers may break even and even make profits. But for now it's just an expectation. "

Donald Graham, President and chief executive of the Washington Post, who accompanied Bennett to talk with Andy, listened to the conversation. His face was a little heavy, but he soon concealed it, but his heart was also bitter.

In the past two years, like other traditional media, the Washington Post has failed to escape the impact of the financial tsunami.

At the same time, the rise of the Internet and the transformation of digital technology make the media industry deeply shuffle. With the loss of readers and advertisers, and the decline of advertising revenue, the Washington Post is suffering. In the first quarter of this year alone, the Washington Post lost more than 40 million dollars, let alone more than 200 million dollars last year.

In the face of huge losses, despite all the efforts in networking, the Washington Post still firmly believes in the dogma that the best strategy is to attract the most readers, regardless of whether they pay or not. But the family members gradually realized that they could do nothing to save the newspaper. At the same time, their interests were damaged, and there were some different voices in the family. They thought that since they could not keep the position of Washington Post as a great newspaper for a long time, they would find someone who could do it.

As a family leader, Donald Graham is naturally very angry and dissatisfied when he hears this voice, but he does not have a better way to turn the deficit into profit. Whether it is to cut costs or cut jobs on a large scale, before the decline of paper media, these methods are just a temporary plan to drink poison and quench thirst. Instead, they will continue to weaken themselves and die slowly 。

Looking at Andy Smith and Donald Graham, who have been calm from the beginning to the end and didn't care about the loss caused by the newspaper they bought, their eyes are shining.

Young, multi gold, and so interested in the newspaper industry, Andy Smith, who is full of the feelings of the rich people of the old era for the newspaper, may be the best choice to play a role in fighting against the invasion of the native Australian, which is the most appropriate.
