In the night, Washington is ablaze with lights, and the bustle of the day continues. Little lights from far to near, accompanied by the sound of cars flying by, once again turned into boundless little stars, countless lights connected into a shining flowing light belt, long road like the bright Milky way in the sky.
"Honey, don't you think Donald Graham is a little strange tonight?"
In the stable and slow moving Maybach, Ivana nestles in Andy's arms with a trace of tiredness and squints her beautiful eyes. She seems to think of something. She raises her pretty face with a little frown and looks at Andy's side face, which is also closed to her eyes.
"It's really weird. It always feels like he's been trying to find out if I'm interested in buying the Washington Post Andy thought of the other side's roundabout inquiry about his future political intentions, about the future direction of the newspaper industry, and to mention some of the difficulties of the Washington Post to his outsider.
Although he paid a dollar for Newsweek at the beginning, his friendship with the Graham family was not very deep. The reason why the deal was successful was that Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one willing to fight and one willing to suffer.
"Yes!" Ivana sat up straightly with a little excitement, and looked intensely at Andy and said: "the future is uncertain. The traditional media began to be left behind by this era. The decline of the whole industry is looming, and the circulation and income of the post are declining. In recent years, the loss is serious. Perhaps finding a suitable new owner has become a bitter comfort. "
Andy had a frown. He was shocked to hear Ivana's bold guess. He didn't dare to think before. It wasn't about money, but he didn't think the Graham family would sell the post. I believe people who know the Washington Post don't think the Graham family would do that.
Since the Watergate incident, the Washington Post has become a benchmark for the American press. Their courage and choice at that time has become a strong mark in the history of American journalism and American politics. Catherine Graham is one of the most powerful women in the world. In the 20 years since Donald Graham took over as CEO, the Washington Post has won 32 Pulitzer Journalism Awards, second only to the New York Times.
The Graham family has been in control of the newspaper for 80 years, which shows how much the family loves it and how hard it is to sell it.
"Unlikely..." The more Andy thought about it, the more he realized it was impossible, he said doubtfully.
"Why not? I can't think that you are more suitable for the ideal boss of the Washington Post. You are rich, have many ideas, and are a new upstart in the IT industry. The most important thing is that you are willing to bear the long-term loss and meager profit of the newspaper. In addition, you have already told the outside world that you have been adhering to the concept of newspaper news without any political intention after acquiring those newspaper operations. "
Ivana firmly believes in her intuition and analysis. The more excited she is, the more excited she is. The Washington Post, along with the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, are among the first echelons of American newspapers. It is also the only newspaper that can truly emulate and compete with the New York Times in terms of talent level, coverage depth and breadth, and international news coverage.
"However, if the Graham family were willing to sell the Washington Post, there would be many restrictions and preconditions. It would not be so easy to buy it." Andy is a little convinced by Ivana.
Ivana's eyes twinkled, her mouth turned up, and she said with a smile: "ha ha, once the post falls into your hands, you can hold it as long as you want, reform as you want, and spend as much as you want for the growth of the newspaper. Those so-called restrictions are just the wishful thinking of the Graham family! "
“。。。 It's really wishful thinking. Maybe I should ask Andy Smith alone. "
At the same time, driving in the streets of Washington, the face of Rolls Royce, Donald Graham slightly frowned, some hesitated to his niece, the post chief executive Catherine Weymouth revealed his ideas.
"He... Is it too young? " Katherine is a little bitter, but she knows better than anyone that the Washington Post is in the blood transfusion operation of the Washington Post Group. This newspaper with a history of one hundred and ten years has become a drag on the group company, but no one can easily make a decision to sell this newspaper. After all, this newspaper represents the glory of the Graham family.
"Moreover, although most media buyers, such as Murdoch, initially vowed not to interfere with the content of the newspaper, they would eventually break their promise. With Andy Smith now in charge of the media Kingdom, and then in charge of such influential media as the post, they may be unable to resist the temptation. They published their politics through the editorial of the post Point of view, and the post's current political position is mainly left in the middle, which may lead Andy Smith to the right in terms of his previous political bias.
Especially the family behind him, even if he has no political intention, don't forget old Smith and emerging Austin Smith. I don't think there is any doubt that the post will become a tool for the Smith family to seek political intention.If you look at what the Los Angeles Times and Newsweek are reporting now, you can see that there is no real non-interference in operation, as he said at the beginning. "
Donna de Graham frowned and looked at her niece with deep eyes. After a moment of meditation, she shook her head and laughed, "if so, let's wait and see."
"Hoo --"
hearing Tang nade's words, Katherine breathed a sigh in her heart, knowing that she had temporarily dismissed his ideas. However, she also knew that she could not escape the day without fundamentally solving the dilemma of the Washington Post. She lamented that the paper media was facing a difficult situation, and she was also thinking about why Andy Smith had such a difficult operation in the newspaper industry Willing to pay a high price for newspapers with heavy losses?
as the traditional paper media shrinks, new media are coming to an irresistible force. Although almost all traditional media are trying Internet plus, but can we integrate effectively the advantages of the traditional paper media and the technological advantages of the new media through Internet technology, and transform a newspaper into a happy newspaper. Rong's profitable media? At present, this is still an unknown number.
"Encore, why do you value Andy Smith?"
Catherine still asked her own doubts. She knew that her uncle had an idea of selling the newspaper to Andy Smith. She had not considered it carefully, but only made a temporary decision, so she could easily put the idea aside for the time being.
"He insisted in front of Bennett and me that paper media would die in 20 years..." Tang nade continued with his eyes narrowed and a slight smile on his lips, as if he had no choice but to admire: "he said that the Internet is changing almost all elements of journalism, shortening the cycle of news updates and shaking traditional sources of income. Newspapers are bound to change in the next few years. This is an inevitable trend......
Bennett asked how he managed to turn Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times around. He stressed that he would not be responsible for the daily affairs of the newspaper, and the core value of the newspaper remained unchanged. Don't let the newspaper worry about money, bend over the dollar and keep the report pure! "
"Ha ha, it's really a rich man." Catherine shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Donna de Graham squinted his eyes and said quietly: "the technical elites represented by Andy Smith are the main beneficiaries of the world. In a sense, they have been riding the ride built by our traditional media, and they have less social responsibility and return to the society.
Now, Andy Smith continues to buy traditional media, which may be a way for technical elites to return to the society. He began to give blood to traditional media and rebuild the media ecology with new ideas and ways. On the other hand, he is also acquiring social and political influence through the acquisition of traditional media
Katherine's eyes were fixed, and she smiled bitterly again. It seemed that her uncle's decision had not changed. Instead of watching the Washington Post die slowly in her own hands and become a family sinner and a laughingstock of the outside world, it was better to find a more suitable successor at the right time, not only to recover some losses, but also to get rid of the reputation of the loser.
