Maybe it's because of the advertising effect, maybe it's because of the selling points that Sean added to the newspaper. Of course, the more likely scenario is that both factors are involved -
The sales curve of the Evening News, which had been flattening out before, turned steep again after the advertisement was published...
Whether it is annual subscribers or single-day sales, the daily increase is staggering.
What surprised Editor-in-Chief Norton the most was that Mr. Dickinson’s goal of selling 30,000 yuan a day within a week was actually achieved on the fifth day...
The entire editorial department is immersed in an incredible atmosphere. Even though they are busy every day, their enthusiasm is still unabated.
However, as sales increased, the newspaper began to face staff shortages.
Due to the existence of the "Dickinson Office of Independent Journalists", the editorial staff is quite adequate.
However, due to the heavier printing tasks and the increase in active advertising negotiations, the printing marketing department and advertising department obviously need to expand their staff.
Sean also published the recruitment information in the evening newspaper early in the morning, so this problem will surely be solved soon.
Now everyone is talking about this resurrected newspaper.
Not only because it has a speed version, serialization by masters, and original commentary comics, but also because it focuses on the "pain points" of the entire society——
Focusing on the poor children living in the lower city.
The elites who advocate progress attach great importance to humanitarianism, and people who imitate the upper class life naturally care about what is happening around them...
It can be said that if there was no special report on the "Lost Generation", the advertisements in the Evening News would never be as effective as they are now.
The duty of newspapers is still to make news that people care about.
No matter how much thought Sean spent on the surrounding areas, what he put the most energy into was still the topic selection and reporting itself.
The sales growth of Evening News has become a hot topic recently.
Some predict that after a week, the sales volume of the newspaper run by Mr. Dickinson will increase to more than 40,000 copies...
This surprising catcher achieved incredible overtaking speed just a short time after taking over the Evening News.
Now, not far in front of him, is his former old employer - the "Daily News" located in the 50,000-day sales club.
An incredible disruptor suddenly appeared in the media industry. Sean seemed to stir up the clouds in the sky, causing the real top bosses to take a look at the New Testament newspaper industry.
Those thunderous names have been mentioned from time to time recently, this young man from Leon...
Everything went smoothly, but Sean started to become wary.
In the process of running the Night Breeze Faith, he once encountered a night terror during a ceremony.
Since then, he has understood a truth - when new things grow vigorously, they will always attract challenges from the outside world.
When trees grow in the forest, strong winds will destroy them...
Crisis often lurks beneath the surface of everything going well.
Therefore, this young talent who was supposed to be proud of himself, actually maintained a rare composure and calmness when the joy almost overwhelmed everyone's mind...
Unexpectedly, Sean's calm mood actually caused the newspaper staff to admire him even more.
Everyone is rumoring that Mr. Dickinson has foreseen everything that is happening now, that this newspaper hero's goal is not just a mere fifty thousand daily sales, that he has already set his sights on the kings of "New Testament Times" and "New Testament Times". Rongguang City Post》......
If someone happened to take leave on Sean Dickinson's first day at the newspaper office, and happened to return to the newspaper office during this period, it would be difficult for him to imagine what happened during this period——
Those who doubted, resisted and even somewhat hated the new boss...
Now they all have become his admirers.
It's incredible.
However, although Sean was clearly aware that the challenge was coming, he never expected that this incident would have such a big impact on him and the "Beacon Evening News" newspaper...
He also didn't expect that tracing the root cause of a small mechanical failure would eventually reveal a secret that had lasted for decades.
·
Today is the fifth day of the advertising campaign.
Everyone in the newspaper office is waiting with great anticipation for the end of the week and the day when the "Evening News" will break through 40,000 daily sales.
And just when everything was rushing forward like a river thawing in spring, Sean Dickinson, who was sitting in the office, suddenly heard some discordant and panicked sounds among the busy sounds.
What's wrong? What happened?
Sean, who had been worried that something would happen, sat upright.
And his eyes just met Olivia Fengchime, who also raised her head from the book - obviously, he, the candle bearer, also noticed something was wrong.
Before the commotion could wake up the people in the editorial office outside the door, Sean had already strode out of the office.
ring.
is the ringtone of a cylinder printing press failure.
When he walked out of the office, he could see several people in blue overalls running up to the second floor, seemingly looking for Chandler, the director of the printing and marketing department.
Norton seemed to have heard the noise and rushed out of his office.
The lion also seemed to smell something bad: "What's wrong?"
Norton and Olivia followed Sean. When the three of them walked to the door of Chandler's office, the printer happened to knock on Chandler's door.
The short, stocky Chandler first saw his boss and editor-in-chief, then turned to look at his printing team leader: "What's wrong?".
"The printing machine has a malfunction and is stuck!" The team leader was covered in sweat and spoke quickly, "Something was thrown in from the window and the machine was stuck.
"Need to shut down for inspection!"
What was thrown in?
Sean frowned.
Is someone playing some dirty trick?
The process for shutdown inspection is that the team leader reports to the director, and the director reports to the editor-in-chief or president for approval. Since Sean and Norton had already arrived, Chandler looked directly at his president.
With almost no hesitation, Sean nodded: "Stop."
A large printing press is the lifeline of a newspaper. Shutdown means the suspension of production. This order carries the risk of suspension of publication. Only the editor-in-chief or president has the authority to decide.
After giving the order, Sean and his team followed the printing team leader towards the first floor.
The printing layout of the "Beacon Evening News" newspaper office is somewhat special. The main part of the large drum printing press is placed in the basement, while the upper half of this huge machine is on the first floor.
The typesetting area and ink tanks are in the basement, and the printed newspapers will be taken to the warehouse door on the first floor by a conveyor belt for distribution to the back door garage.
Sean has visited many newspapers, including the "Daily News", and he believes that the printing layout of his own newspaper is relatively the most reasonable.
As soon as he reached the first floor, Sean smelled the familiar smell of ink, but this smell was mixed with the smell of something burnt.
Sean frowned and twitched the tip of his nose - among the obvious burnt smell, he also smelled an even more unpleasant smell...
The group of people continued down and walked directly into the basement, and the ringing of the machine malfunction became even more harsh.
The printing workers were in chaos in the basement. The team leader shouted to turn on the switch, and a young man rushed to the main switch and turned off the power.
The ringing finally stopped.
The workers felt a little relieved when they saw President Dickinson and Editor-in-Chief Norton coming to the printing room.
Chandler scratched his face, with a gloomy expression, and nodded to the printing team leader: "Tear it down for inspection."
