Late at night, in the Times office building, Editor-in-Chief Conlez put down the work in his hand and stretched out as he was tired.

There is no way to ensure the timeliness of news. Overtime work in the newspaper industry is the norm.

After the news collected from various places are sorted, summarized, typed and checked, it is already late at night. After the overnight printing is completed, it is almost dawn.

Generally speaking, the time when news editors get off work is when ordinary people go to work.

Conles has been working hard in this industry for more than ten years before he has changed from a grassroots examiner to a news editor.

Time is unforgiving, and the long-term reversal of day and night has successfully made Conlese a member of the bald army.

The most important thing is that my body is getting worse and I feel tired after working for only two or three hours.

I made myself a cup of strong coffee, and when I was about to enjoy it, a familiar voice sounded.

"Mr. Conles, I just received a big news."

Looking at the young man with a happy face, Conleus seemed to see himself in his youth, full of youthful vitality.

"Tell me, Rodman. What else have you gained?"

Frankly speaking, Conlez doesn't like the big news at this time. Today's layout work has been completed, and the last round of verification is now underway and it is about to be printed.

Receiving big news at this time means that all previous work has been wasted and all must be pushed back and started over.

The Times is already the top newspaper in Britain, and it is very difficult to increase sales unless it is a special big news. Otherwise, it will be difficult to increase sales.

Everyone's income is linked to the sales of newspapers. If the sales of newspapers cannot be increased, everyone's income will not increase because of receiving big news.

Rodman said happily: "There is a big deal in Central Asia. The mission we sent to Afghanistan was attacked by locals. Three staff members, including Commander Watts, died and two staff members were injured."

Upon hearing this news, Conlez's face changed drastically. This is not ordinary big news and may even trigger a war.

Conles hurriedly asked, "Where did you get the news from? Have you confirmed the authenticity?"

The Times is not a street tabloid, and any news can be published. This kind of current affairs news must be verified to avoid affecting its own credibility.

Rodman said confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Conles, this is the news from the Telegraph Office.

Just now, Foreign Minister Sir George went to the Prime Minister's residence overnight, which matched the news."

It is not because the Times can become the leader in the newspaper industry. It is definitely the first-class in the industry in terms of well-informed information.

Although it has not developed to the point of monitoring cabinet meetings, they have long known the whereabouts of senior government officials.

The Telegraph Office, a must-fight place for the press, was infiltrated early. Unless special news must be kept confidential, ordinary news has no secrets to them.

Without any hesitation, Conleus made a quick decision: "Everyone stopped their work, and the newspapers will be re-typed tomorrow morning."

I paused for a moment, looked at the watch and it was already three in the morning. It was too late to revise the version.

Conles immediately denied: "Forget it, there is no need to revise it. Do a separate issue of special news, and now start the division of labor:

Tom, you are responsible for writing Walts' personal resume, which can beautified appropriately;

Allen, you are responsible for writing the assassination process, remember to be more sensational;

Michael, you are responsible for writing international relations…”

As the editor-in-chief of news, Conleus is still very powerful. This is related to the audience of the Times, and the readership is mainly social elites who focus on news and current affairs.

These customers have relatively bulging pockets. They don’t care about subscribing to one more newspaper, but more about reading embodies and whether the news content is interesting to them.

The Times did a very good job in this regard.

It is not only the only one who received the news of the assassination of Waltes. If it were just a brief introduction, there would be no way to stand out from many competitors.

Conlecs, who has been in the industry for many years, naturally knew that he suddenly decided to do a special issue alone. Anyway, pronunciations like the inside story of these events the most.

...

There are cats and cats, and there are rats. The big newspapers can obtain information directly from the Telegraph Bureau, and the tabloids also have their own channels for inquiry.

The British Empire Times, which was not lurking in the alley, also received news, but Endri, who is also the editor-in-chief of the news, did not have the time to verify the authenticity.

Seeing his subordinates sending the article, Endri immediately rejected: "All the previous content is invalid. Everyone should work hard and get as much content as possible.

Remember our core, we must highlight novelty and the content must be tense."

The young man said: "But the editor-in-chief, we only know that Walts was assassinated, and we don't know anything about it!"

The question was about intern Karina. In order to reduce operating costs, the British Empire Times liked to recruit newcomers the most.

Of course, since you are a newcomer, you naturally have various problems. Because of the treatment, you will resign in less than a few months.

But this is not a problem. Street tabloids like the British Empire Times can survive for several months are a problem.

Endri, the boss and editor-in-chief, frowned. Considering that he was not losing his temper, he explained patiently: "I don't know, just make it up by myself!

Don’t forget that your job is called editor, and the core of your work is all about the word “edit”.

If everything is clear, what else do you want?

Using exaggerated techniques, we focus on describing the courage of the heroes we kill, rather die than betray the interests of Britain, highlighting the ruthlessness and evilness of the enemy..."

the truth?

What is that, can it be eaten?

For a poor newspaper like the British Empire Times that has no popularity, it is the first priority to try every means to attract the public's attention and increase sales.

Reputation, reputation, and these luxuries in the press are not something they can hope for.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The knock on the door interrupted everyone's work. Endri frowned, and Karina, as a newcomer, got up first to open the door.

"Sir, you're so late, who are you looking for?"

The man in gray said slowly, "Is Mr. Endri here? I want to discuss a business with him."

When Endri's unhappiness was interrupted, he disappeared instantly when he heard that his business came.

You should know that street tabloids like the British Empire Times do not have much advertising revenue, and they rely on the little profits of selling newspapers.

The biggest extra income is this kind of secret business. For Endri, as long as someone gives money, there is no news that he dares not publish.

This can be seen from his repeated changes to his vest. Today is the Times of the Great Britain, tomorrow is the Times of the Empire of England, and the day after tomorrow can be...

He answered first: "Here!"

Before his voice fell, Endri greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see old friend, please come inside."

"Carina, make me two of the best coffees."

...

The two have only worked together and there is no friendship. Even Endri doesn't know the name of the man in gray.

However, this did not affect the cooperation between the two. Endri has always regarded himself as a journalist and has always only sought money, but only asked about the identity of the employer.

This is also the reason why he has been in the industry for many years and has published many secret news, but has not been silenced yet.

The man in gray took out a piece of article with the check and handed it over, and said slowly: "In the shortest time, publish the content on it, and this fifty pounds will be yours."

Endri did not rush to answer, but read it carefully. Any industry has industry rules, and street tabloids are no exception. Different news releases also have different prices.

Generally speaking, the more sensitive the content, the higher the price, and of course the greater the risk you need to bear.

On the contrary, ordinary content is similar to advertising. A street tabloid like the British Empire Times, which sells only a few thousand copies, is not worth the money.

After a while, Endri frowned and replied, "The content is not sensitive and can be published, but this title is too much, right?

"Preface to the Russians' invasion of India", it's a bit too much to go so far with just one assassination case without any substantial evidence.

If published in this way, it will affect the reputation of our newspapers and must be modified, such as: "Beware of Russian invasion of India" or "The Russian Conspiracy".

Anyway, the result is the same, and the suspicion of assassinating Walts will point to the Russians."

The man in gray ignored Endri's request and only said coldly: "55 pounds!"

Endri was very unhappy with the indifferent attitude towards the man in gray, but he was really arrogant when facing the financial backer.

These days, the purchasing power of pounds is strong enough. One pound can buy 100 pounds of black bread in London. (about 45 kg)

£55, equivalent to Endri's profit in operating a newspaper for two months, which is enough to lower his bottom line.

After hesitating for a while, Endri tried his best to offer: "60 pounds, I must be responsible for the newspaper."

The man in gray smiled slightly, took out 10 pounds and handed over it. Without waiting for Endri to continue speaking, he turned around and left.
