Chapter 210 Analysis of American Newspapers
Li Zhiwen took the report handed over by Luo Shaoyong and started reading it.
"The New York Times, the most influential newspaper in the United States, is the most famous in the United States and has the reputation of "Archives Records". It was founded in 1851 and was founded by Henry Jarvis Raymond. Its style is classical and serious, and is sometimes called "Gray Lady."
"Since Raymond's death in 1869, he has had a tragic life and has been in the hands of many people. Later, he was held by the Solzberg family in 1961, which is closely related to the Rockefeller Consortium."
"Although the New York Times was later transformed from a family business to a joint-stock company in 1969, it was just an open operation. At present, the New York Times is the helm of Arthur Otssolzberg. Under his leadership, the New York Times has become bigger and bigger and has become the most influential newspaper in the United States."
After reading this introduction, Li Zhiwen grabbed the water cup on the table and took a sip. Since he was the younger brother of the Rockefeller Consortium, this is something that Li Zhiwen cannot provoke at the moment. Let's continue reading.
"The Washington Post is the largest and oldest newspaper in Washington, the United States. Because its headquarters is located in the capital of the United States, it is good at reporting domestic political trends in the United States."
"Founded in 1877, it is a folio newspaper, divided into weekdays and Sundays, and is known as the second largest newspaper in the United States."
"Like the New York Times, the Washington Post has a tragic fate and has many people. Currently, the chairman of the Washington Post is Katherine Graham. It was listed in 1971. Its current share price is $28 per share, and it also owns Newsweek."
"Because it is located in the capital, some journalists are familiar with the political circles and focus on reporting on politics. There are often "insider" news that the famous Watergate incident was revealed by the Washington Post."
Since he has a close relationship with the political circle, he must have the support of the consortium behind him, which cannot be easily interfered with by Li Zhiwen.
"The Los Angeles Times, the largest folio daily in the western United States, is known as the third largest newspaper in the United States. It was established in 1881 and belongs to the "Times Mirror Company". It is financially controlled by the Bank of America consortium and is also related to the Morgan consortium, with a circulation of more than one million copies."
"Its advertising is the highest in the US newspapers, with more than 650 employees in the editorial department and permanent journalists in more than 20 countries and regions."
The relationship between the United States is much more complicated. This is not related to the Rockefeller Consortium, but it is related to the Morgan Consortium. It is indeed difficult to deal with. Li Zhiwen shook his head and continued to watch.
"The Wall Street Journal, founded in 1889, has a circulation of more than two million copies. It is the largest paid financial newspaper in the United States, focusing on financial news coverage. Its main readers are people from the political, economic, educational and medical circles, financial tycoons and business managers, and stock market investors, which is even better than the Financial Times in the UK."
It seems that Luo Shaoyong knew that Li Zhiwen had included the British Financial Times under his command, so he compared it with the Financial Times.
But even if you don’t compare the Financial Times, Li Zhiwen knows the name of the Wall Street Journal. However, Americans will not let yellow-skinned people master such a financial newspaper, so they can only pass.
"The New York Daily News, the largest popular newspaper in the United States, was founded in 1919 and mainly reports on local news, social news and various soft news."
"It is a tabloid, known for its image news, and zz takes the middle route. It is the private property of the real estate billionaire Motzukmann, with a daily circulation of more than 700,000 copies."
"The Chicago Tribune, founded in 1847, is the banner of the Tribune Company. It is published in Chicago, USA. It is the largest newspaper in Chicago. It is controlled by the Chicago consortium."
"The Houston Notes, published locally in Houston, was founded in 1901, with a circulation of more than 500,000 copies, and is managed by the Houston Notes Company."
"The New York Post, founded in 1801, mainly sensational gossip, has a circulation of more than 500,000 copies, and has a loss of 50 million dollars a year. It was later acquired by Murdoch, a news company at the end of 1976."
Murdoch was taken first again. It seems that competition with Murdoch is inevitable on the way to become a media tycoon, Li Zhiwen thought.
"The Christian Science Monitor is an influential Sikai Daily. It was founded in 1908 and was published by the Christian Science Press. It was here to register."
"It is related to religious groups, but not purely religious newspapers. It generally does not publish reports on violence, is good at analyzing major events at home and abroad, and is highly praised by the intellectual community."
"The Washington News reports on hot news around the world, with a main style of entertainment and sports news, and rich pictures."
"The Washington Star, which was merged by the Washington Daily News and the Washington Star Evening News, has a rich publishing and entertainment channel in the form of tabloids, and is composed of daily horoscopes, dietary introductions, etc. Currently, the Washington Star Edition is suffering serious losses and is on the verge of bankruptcy."
"The Baltimore Sun, founded in 1837..."
“The Herald Daily…”
“American Express…”
Li Zhiwen finished reading the report one by one, then rubbed his temples to relieve his mood, and then asked Luo Shaoyong: "Lao Luo, I have finished reading the report, tell me what you think?"
"Boss, I think the newspaper industry in the United States is in chaos today, and there is no company that can unify these newspapers yet, so this is our opportunity."
"Of course, we can't do it casually, just like the four newspapers, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, are not something we can get involved at the moment. They have extremely strong consortiums behind them, so there is no chance to do it for the time being."
"But since we want to take root in the United States, we must own a newspaper in the zz center and economic center of the United States, with our own voice, so the Washington Star came into my sight. The Washington Star is on the verge of bankruptcy at this time, and we won't have much money if we acquire it. In addition, this newspaper is a newspaper that can compete with the Washington Post. What we lack is the support of the capital behind it, and it just happened to be our entry."
"As for New York, I recommend the New York Daily News. Although it is a tabloid, it is the largest popular newspaper in the United States. The real estate tycoon Letter Zuckerman does not have the support of the consortium. I believe it can be acquired with the boss' status and connections."
After complimenting Li Zhiwen, Luo Shaoyong continued: "The Houston Notes is also within my acquisition scope. Although the Houston Notes is a local newspaper, Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States, and the Houston Notes can form a north-south echo with the New York Daily News. As long as we do well, this layout will soon open up the market in the United States."
After listening to Luo Shaoyong's analysis, Li Zhiwen couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Lao Luo, you are worthy of being you. He is very good at analyzing. It seems that he has used a lot of achievements below. Just do what you said. You should organize a negotiation team to the United States immediately. I will ask someone to help you in the United States."
