"Bedtime news? The name doesn't sound like a newspaper." Harry was a little confused.
In his mind, the name of the newspaper should be "XX People", "XX Newspaper", and the bedtime message did not sound related to the newspaper.
"It's not like the newspaper." Tom smiled and nodded. He looked at the people in the room and asked his soul: "When will you read the newspaper?"
Krum scratched his head: "Before and after the Quidditch match, right? I like to read newspaper reports on the team, analysis and post-match comments."
Harry was a little embarrassed because he didn't read newspapers very much, but occasionally read the breaking news with his friends.
Unlike the boys, Hermione and Luna read the newspaper during breakfast, which was when the Daily Prophet was delivered and it was also a relatively leisurely time of the day.
"So," Tom waved his hand, "Even if it is the school newspaper, you are unlikely to read it, right?"
The four people in front of Tom lowered their heads in embarrassment - they thought about it and realized that they really didn't know how to read the Hogwarts school newspaper.
This is natural. Students are already used to reading the Daily Prophet to understand what major events are happening outside. It is unwise to directly compete with it in the news business. It has been leading the field for a long time, and latecomers
There is almost no possibility of overtaking.
So what should we do? Switch the track. It's like a thousand-meter race. The Daily Prophet has already run 900 meters. At this time, Tom jumps out and shouts: Stop! I will compete with you in the long jump! This way you can
The leading opponents are back on the same starting line.
"I want to create a newspaper that is not so serious. It will be easier to accept. It is best for every student to read it for a while before going to bed, just like an entertainment magazine." Tom slowly expressed his thoughts.
Human energy is limited, so the total amount of information a person receives every day is also limited. Little wizards have to attend classes during the day and complete homework at night. How can they spend as much time reading newspapers as semi-retired adults?
Just take a look at breakfast time. As for other times, isn’t wizard chess fun? Isn’t the crackling and exploding cards fun? Why do you have to use your entertainment time to read the newspaper?
The time slot for reading newspapers at breakfast has already been occupied by the Daily Prophet. If Harry and his newspapers want to compete, they must find another time slot.
Just before bed is a perfect time.
In Hogwarts, where there are no mobile phones, the period before going to bed is very "empty". The most you can do is chat with your roommates. Tom is targeting this time period.
But since it is something to read before going to bed, it must not be serious, and it is best to have some entertainment properties. This is also the main purpose of "Bedtime Message" - relaxed and humorous.
"Oh!" Everyone said in unison, feeling that what Tom said made sense.
"Okay, then let's call our newspaper "Bedtime News"!" Harry agreed with Tom's idea.
Several people discussed it and decided to update the school newspaper every week and place it in the common rooms of each college for students to take. As for the content of the newspaper, it is composed of five sections: campus notices and campus news.
, current affairs commentary, free submissions and advertisements - yes, they decided to print some advertisements on the last page of the newspaper.…
The first two sections are to fulfill the responsibilities of the school newspaper. In these two sections, the editorial department will publish notices from the school, college and even teachers and staff. Professors of the school can also post personal praise and criticism here to conduct
Public execution.
Free submission is a section for young wizards at Hogwarts to submit articles. Tom believes that many people have something to say before and after the Quidditch game. Letting these people participate will not only enrich the page, but also strengthen their participation.
This will attract more students to read the bedtime message. The advertising fees brought by the advertising panel will become the contributors' remuneration, further encouraging them to publish more articles.
Current affairs commentary is where Tom leaves Harry with his personal stuff. For example, in order to change Hagrid's impression in everyone's mind, Harry can publish an article such as "Mixed-blood giants must be cruel? Where does such a statement come from" or "Love
Guys? Articles like "Let’s start with a three-headed dog" to reverse everyone’s stereotypes.
After reaching a consensus, preparations for the first issue of the bedtime news began in full swing. With Luna's help, the preparation of the newspaper went very smoothly, and generally there were no mistakes. What was even more surprising was that Professor McGonagall and Spoo
Professor Sprout also expressed his support in his own way: Professor McGonagall informed Harry in advance of the next opening time of Hogsmeade Village, so that his on-campus notification panel would have some useful information. Professor Sprout wrote an article
A popular science article to teach students how to identify poisonous mushrooms. Professor Flitwick, who accidentally heard about this incident, also wrote a short article about the magical effects of the Banishing Curse and his experience in casting it.
Castle administrator Filch was even more happy when he heard the news. He wrote a long article of several thousand words, describing the terrible consequences of violating school rules, and also gave a very long list of prohibited items. I hope it will work.
It could be published in his newspaper. After seeing this stinky and long submission, Harry resolutely moved the section where Filch submitted it to the back of the newspaper - after that was the advertisement on the back cover.
As for advertising, Fred and George have become the exclusive sponsors of Bedtime Message, with Wes's Wizarding Wheezes merchandise taking up the entire back cover. However, the two have a small request, and that is a version for teachers.
These ads need to be deleted.
Harry readily agreed.
Hogwarts' school newspaper "Bedtime News" is gradually getting back on track, and now we just have to wait until the weekend to see the response.
But maybe Harry used all his luck in organizing the school newspaper, and his special Occlumency training with Snape was extremely bad.
At the end of the two-hour training, the only consensus that Harry and Snape reached was that the other person was a fool and the lesson was meaningless.
"You are the most gifted student I have ever seen. If Dumbledore hadn't given the order, I would never have let you step foot here." Snape pointed to the door of his office and said, "You can leave.
! I hope that next time you come here, your level can improve even a little bit - although I doubt it."
Tom's face was livid with anger. He felt that Snape was definitely the worst teacher, and even a troll would be more reliable than him. During these two hours, Harry's brain was repeatedly invaded by Snape's consciousness.
, which made him couldn't help but suspect that this was Snape's personal revenge.
Anyway, he didn't feel that he had made any progress - this seemed to be the consensus he and Snape had reached.
