Winnie Adams, 21, is a recent intern in Harvard's journalism department.Relying on her own strength and some unknown power, she easily became an intern reporter for the Los Angeles Times.The Los Angeles Times is the largest folio newspaper in the western United States, and its influence and status are second only to the New York Times and the Washington Post, and it is known as the third largest newspaper in the United States.It was first published in Los Angeles on December 4, 1881, and has a history of more than 100 years.Although today is three days of work.But with a beautiful face that everyone loves, a good figure, a kind smile, and a friendly attitude.Soon won the love of colleagues.She received an assignment from the editor-in-chief, who was going to send her to Marbury Beach, Los Angeles, to interview a politician.The politician is likely to run in this year's midterm elections and is a hot rising political star.Tasks of this level.It stands to reason that it is not the turn of a young intern reporter like her.Interviewing this kind of politician, or this kind of star-level figure, the people who receive the task are those veteran reporters who are old and serious.Only they have the qualifications and experience to cope with this kind of task.It wasn't her turn anyway.But it was such a coincidence that the editor-in-chief asked her to go by name.Originally, with Winnie's confidence, she felt that this task was very simple, and she could complete it beautifully.But she didn't want to go.The reason why she didn't want to go was because if she went, it would ruin the friendship of the colleagues who had been gathered with great difficulty.Everyone will speculate and even alienate her.Why did she, a rookie who had just graduated and just walked out of school, receive such a task?
Compared to a trivial task for her, she felt that the friendship of her colleagues was more important.So she was going to go to the editor-in-chief, to refuse the assignment, and to ask him to send someone else.The editor-in-chief's office was all glass, and she walked over and knocked on the door.I found out that in the office, in addition to the editor-in-chief, there was another person.This other person is an associate editor-in-chief.Winnie felt that she might have disturbed the two editors-in-chief, and shook her head embarrassedly, preparing to come back later.saw that the editor-in-chief inside waved at her, so she had to open the door and walk in."
Good morning, Mr.
Anderson and Mr.
Bruce."
She smiled and said hello."
Good morning!"
“goodm！”
Editor-in-Chief Anderson smiled and replied, "Is there anything you want me to do, Winnie." ”"Uh......
Mr.
Bruce, please, talk about his business first, my business is not so important!
”Winnie smiled politely."
Okay."
Anderson nodded kindly.The deputy editor-in-chief of Bruce next to him couldn't help but complain: When did the editor-in-chief Anderson, who is known as the tin sandwich, become so kind.What exactly is this girl?"
Bruce, I don't agree with what you said, sending a reporter to cover an inconsequential press conference!""
In Silicon Valley, there are more than 1,000 press conferences a year, and if it's such a small press conference, we have to send people there.""
Where are we going to find so many people?"
Turning his head, facing another subordinate, Editor-in-Chief Anderson was not so gentle.The deputy editor-in-chief of Bruce, who complained in his heart, was actually very helpless.If it weren't for his friends asking him for help, he wouldn't have been willing to say it.Because of its proximity to Silicon Valley, the world's most famous location for high-tech start-ups.The variety of launches that lead to Los Angeles each year is simply innumerable.From giants like Apple and Google, to all kinds of cats and dogs, underground garage startups with only two or three people release several press conferences every year.As Editor-in-Chief Anderson said.If we go to every show, the Los Angeles Times will not have enough people to increase tenfold.But since it's a friend's please.He had no choice but to persuade him: "This conference is about a new environmental protection technology conference!"
I think it's necessary to participate, and now the whole world is talking about environmental protection, and it's a hot ......"
Editor-in-chief Anderson waved his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, and said impatiently: "Environmental technology conference?
Have you forgotten the ICSKS press conference three years ago?
”"Uh......
All right. ”Bruce's deputy editor-in-chief said helplessly.Three years ago, the company was said to have developed a high-tech system that could collect and collect the exhaust gases of automobiles and turn them back into combustible gases.And then the company, ready to hold a launch.At that time, Bruce, who had just become an associate editor-in-chief, even excitedly went on the interview himself.The results were at the press conference.It was revealed that the company's so-called new technology was completely a scam.It seems that that this time, it was also because of the request of a friend on Dune Road that he went.Of course, not the current one."
Okay.Then forget it. ”Bruce's associate editor had no choice but to say so."
Hmm......
Editor-in-Chief Anderson nodded, "you go out." ”Wait until Bruce's deputy editor-in-chief has no choice but to leave.Editor-in-chief Anderson said to Winnie gently, "Is there something wrong?"
Winnie.Do you think it's a bit tricky, then I'll let Jenny or Alice accompany you as your deputy. ”Jenny and Alice, two veteran female reporters at the Los Angeles Times, are Winnie's seniors.If the normal trajectory is followed, a journalism student who has just graduated from university can only become a deputy to these two female journalists with such senior qualifications.But when it came to her, such an old qualification turned around and became her assistant.The two people in this office seem to take this kind of weird thing for granted.But Winnie refused."
Mr.
Anderson.I don't want to go to Marbury!
”"Huh?"
Editor-in-Chief Anderson was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face changed for a moment, and then he still smiled: "Okay."
How about going to Apple?
Cook has a tech salon to convene. ”Winnie Adams was speechless.How is this different from the original mission?
These are tasks that require veteran qualifications and are highly qualified and well-known journalists have the ability to carry out them.She could have done it, but like the previous task, it was too ostentatious.Helplessly, Winnie suddenly had a flash of inspiration.I'm just a little journalist now.According to the trajectory of a normal little reporter, now you can only run a few, inconsequential trivialities.That's normal.Trivialities?
Winnie suddenly remembered the press conference that Bruce associate editor had just said.
