Chapter 1276: Great momentum

Saturday, August 5, 1995, was destined to be a day in the annals of history, because on this day, the public stood up to the opposite side of the media for the first time and protested against the false and false reports of the media in a rebellious manner.

For a long time, the relationship between the public and the media has been unidirectional-the media inputs information to the public unilaterally, and the public accepts whatever the media reports. This simple and rude communication method has lasted for centuries, and the media has always acted as a politician. . The government’s mouthpiece regulates public opinion as a whole.

This kind of relationship continued into the 21st century. With the strong rise of the Internet, first of all, the emergence of blogs, so that everyone can become a news source, which means that everyone can become a reporter, even the media, and media civilians. The rapid advancement of globalization; followed by the prosperity of forums and instant chat software, and communication channels between people have begun to open widely. Canada can learn about news events in South Africa in time, not only through the news media, but also through life Local people in South Africa know directly that this has led to a surge in fake news, but it has also promoted innovation in news authenticity and diversity.

Finally, the emergence of social networks has made the status of the media plummet, and media reporters and ordinary people can stand on the same platform for exchanges and dialogues. The method of information transmission is not only no longer unidirectional, but also not bidirectional, but multidirectional. Everyone can become an information transmission point and spread information to countless nodes.

The media still shoulders the responsibility of public opinion supervision, but the public also has the ability to supervise the media, which has completely changed the structure of the media industry.

However, before the Internet flourished, traditional media, dominated by television, newspapers, and magazines, were still the main forces, shouldering the heavy task of transmitting information in one direction.

And on August 5, a news revolution started with a young volcano. Fate is centered on Baton Rouge, spreading like a raging fire across the entire North American continent.

From the Rodney King incident to the Michael Jackson incident, the tragic consequences of the stupid mistakes of the news media have been deeply felt by the entire North American continent, whether it is the Los Angeles Riot caused by the former or the entire entertainment directly caused by the latter. The industry and the media industry have been questioned, and both have put forward new requirements on the news media: truth, this is the core that cannot be ignored.

Even in the crazy age of entertainment to death, everything can become a means of entertainment, a carrier for making profits, and an object of teasing, but if it exceeds the true bottom line, it will be endlessly exaggerated, distorted, misunderstood, and fabricated. , Then the entire entertainment industry will collapse.

Now, the young volcano has officially posted a war post to the media: Give me the truth!

Hollywood needs entertainment, profits, and explosions, but in the same way, Hollywood practitioners also need calmness, personality, and truth.

The 1,500 young volcanoes in Baton Rouge are just the tip of the iceberg of this resistance movement. On the same day of August 5, there were 21 volcanoes including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Boston, and Miami. There were demonstrations in front of the main media office buildings in the city, and even the three cities of Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto in Canada also joined this movement.

According to incomplete statistics, all 25 cities have mobilized more than 50,000 people. Among them, the most powerful is not Baton Rouge, but Burbank in Los Angeles, "Los Angeles Times", "Hollywood Report", "Variety Show" , "The New York Times" and many other newspapers are located in the square in front of Burbank’s office base. A total of 3,000 celebrities gathered. They organized sit-ins and protests on the spot, holding up "Repay I Really Want" and "Reject Witches". Signs with the words "Trial" and "Protest against the uncrowned king covering the sky with one hand" sat quietly in the square for three hours, causing a huge sensation.

This is definitely a scene of a milestone in the history of news development.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the world’s first printed newspaper appeared on the European continent. It has been developed for three centuries. Newspapers have gradually become an important part of people’s lives. Even in 2014, the Internet media infinitely compressed paper media. Under the circumstances, newspapers with a long history still occupy an indispensable position in the market.

Newspapers represent the roles of social thought leaders, information disseminators, speech leaders, and public opinion monitors. This gives the news media a lofty status, and the title of "uncrowned king" has emerged.

But the times are advancing, and society is developing. The superior media has always had to make profit-oriented changes in order to cooperate with the market. Now, someone has finally challenged the supremacy of the media.

This is not only a sign of the decline in media credibility, but also a sign of changes in media identity and status in the "Entertainment to Death" era. It is also a key point for ordinary people to truly try to reverse the situation.

In fact, this kind of resistance has appeared many times before, and it has appeared many times when it evolved from a slavery society to a capitalist society, but it has not really formed the mainstream of thought. At that time, people were more hopeful. Spread your own revolution through the media. Fate theory turns the media into its own weapon to influence ordinary people, and then promote the revolution. The success of life.

No one could have imagined that the course of history would be changed because of Hugo, and the awakening of young volcanoes brought the news media's throes forward by at least five years!

At first, everyone thought that this resistance movement was only advocated by young volcanoes in order to maintain Hugo’s reputation and prestige. Everyone knows that the news about “Hugo is crazy” has been bubbling in the past week, and it is gradually losing control. The more exaggerated, the more bloody, and the more dramatic, the conflict seems to be clearer. Now, the young volcano chanted "Return the truth to me". On the surface, it seems to be rebelling against the unidirectional transmission of information by the media, but in fact it is to clarify the facts for Hugo and support Hugo with practical actions.

Eli, Meredith and others really thought so.

But history is so real, with certainty in accident.

When the young volcanoes showed their support with practical actions, Steven, Rick, Joseph and others in the crew witnessed all this with their own eyes. They have been looking for an accurate time to clarify the facts, and without putting more pressure on Hugo, they gave the reporters a perfect answer, because they have nothing to hide, and there is no need to hide Hugo’s dedication and difficulties. , All they need is an opportunity.

And they clearly know that, obviously, the young volcanoes have created a perfect timing, all they need to do is just a light push behind the back, which is enough.

As a result, just as all the reporters were surrounded in the center, waiting anxiously for the tragic ending of being submerged, there was a loud noise from the crew behind them. When a reporter looked back, he found someone coming, and he was immediately sharp. Shouted, "Steven, it's Steven! Steven!"

Amidst the mighty shouts of the young volcano, the reporter's shouts were not worth mentioning, but he was full of thirst for survival. Wang's screams attracted the attention of the surrounding reporters, so all the reporters became agitated and screamed frantically.

The young volcano at the forefront also noticed the change and found that Steven and Rick appeared in sight. Although they were the only two of them, Hugo did not travel with them, but they knew that at this moment in history. The appearance of Steven and Rick must be of special significance.

As a result, Eli, Meredith and others turned around to send messages. They first quieted the young volcanoes, and then asked everyone to step back slowly to free up a space for Steven and Rick to use.

Seeing the crowd leaving like a low tide, reporters can finally feel the taste of "escape from the dead". The mixed emotions danced bitterly on the tip of the tongue. Almost at this moment, many people cried with joy. , Not only because they regained a new life after being surrounded and tortured, but also because their waiting finally waited for the result, and they could finally know the truth. Of course, even if it is not the truth, at least it is an official statement.

However, many reporters realized that if the truth is really bad for the reporters, will the young volcanoes in front of them tear them to pieces? The idea just came out, and they shivered.

Steven and Rick passed through the various levels and appeared in front of the reporters. The reporters tried to show their professional skills by enclosing the two people in the center in a semicircle, but many people found that their legs were so soft that they were standing. Can't get up. This scene really made many young volcanoes burst into laughter. The ridicule and banter in the laughter made these reporters want to get into the hole, but they didn't dare to turn back and resist.

Fifteen hundred people, and still a group of fanatics, unless they don't want to live anymore.

Anthony is not much better at this time His whole person is like fished out of water, his clothes have been soaked with sweat, but he knows that Steven and Li are in front of him. Ke is his life-saving straw, and he is very fortunate that he did not face Hugo in this state, otherwise he would not know how long he could hold on. At the same time, Hugo did not appear. Does this mean that his report is one step closer to the truth?

Thinking of this, Anthony eagerly approached the two people. The reporters finally gathered together sparsely. The interviews with the crew of more than one hundred reporters were extremely large-scale, but the battles before him were scattered. It looks very shabby.

Steven and Rick looked at the embarrassment and misery of the reporters in front of them, and couldn't help being a little funny. When did the reporters encounter such treatment? It must be one of the few.

However, Steven still coughed slightly, and said to the recorder in front of him, "The past week was directed at the crew of'Death Convict Walk' and Hugo Lancaster... There were many rumors and many questions. We passed After discussion, I think it’s time to respond to everyone’s questions."

Steven deserves to be an old fox. Not only did he mention "Death Row" in one sentence, he also omitted the past week lightly, and finally stunned everyone's appetite.
