Chapter 700 The Media Environment in England

block?

Inside the offices of The Manchester Telegraph, a middle-aged man with only a tuft of hair at the back of his head stood up, his mouth wide enough to lay down two eggs.

He is Davies, editor-in-chief of The Manchester Telegraph.

The news about the "Kaka and Eriksen fight" was concocted by him.

Although he added vague words such as "allegedly" and "reported" in some clips, the impact of his report was still very large, as can be seen from the crowd of reporters at Manchester City's training base the next day. One spot.

And with this report, the sales of this issue of The Manchester Telegraph are also the highest in the past year!

All these make Davis, the editor-in-chief, quite proud.

On the one hand, the sales of newspapers have gone up, and on the other hand, they can also hit Manchester City, which he hates, by the way.

Best of both worlds.

But now, someone dares to block a media? !

Isn't this a joke?

In the West, the media is called the "fourth power" outside the administration, legislation and justice, which shows the status of the media in society.

"Yes, Manchester City has issued an announcement. Their head coach threatened that we will not be allowed to participate in Manchester City's pre-match and post-match press conferences or other activities!"

"damn it!!"

Bald Davis is furious!

The Chinese guy! !

How dare he do that? ! !

Does he know what he is doing?

Block the media! ?

Such tricks can be used, which makes Davis furious, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

Although the media is the "fourth power", it is the uncrowned king.

But Gao Bo blocked not all the media,

Just his family.

The Manchester Telegraph is just a regional newspaper whose influence is limited to Manchester. What energy can they have?

Their energy is, of course, just rocking the pen barrel over the newspaper.

"Our team, Manchester City, makes a solemn protest against the news that interferes with press freedom. We are a regular media organization and we have the right to participate in the pre-match and post-match press conferences of any competition organized by the FA. Manchester City has no right to refuse our interview. Gao Bo's current behavior is interfering with press freedom and suppressing freedom of speech!!!"

The next day, the Manchester Telegraph protested solemnly in its report.

Soon, Gao Bo responded.

On February 8, at the pre-match press conference against Southampton in the twenty-sixth round of the league.

Because it is on the road, the "Manchester Telegraph" still got the opportunity to enter the field.

But when they were given the opportunity to ask questions, Gao Bo refused to give any answers.

"Anyone else have questions?"

Gao Bo saw that the scene fell into silence, he stood up directly and was about to leave.

At this time, a reporter couldn't stand it any longer.

"This is the UK, Mr. Goblet! I want you to show enough respect for press freedom in the UK!"

"I respect freedom of the press! Sir!" Gao Bo said, turning his head, "I have the freedom not to be interviewed!"

The reporter choked, for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, other reporters stood up.

"You have no right to block The Manchester Telegraph"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Bo stretched out his hand to stop the other party: "This newspaper is spreading rumors and causing trouble, and there is no sense of responsibility in the media at all. It's just a moth in the media circle. I still say that, or they come up with evidence to prove their reports. The authenticity of the report, or they must publish an apology to my players, my team! Otherwise, they will not want to enter the Manchester City press room!"

Gao Bo walked out of the press conference hall as he spoke.

As a result, the pre-match press conference against Southampton is really not much about the game.

David Davies, editor-in-chief of The Manchester Telegraph, has nothing else to do now, and the pressure on him has never been greater.

Because the main readers of the "Manchester Telegraph" are Manchester locals.

If they can't get any first-hand news from Manchester City, it is equivalent to losing more than half of Manchester's market in Manchester. The number of Manchester City fans is definitely not lower than Manchester United fans!

This is undoubtedly a huge loss for the tabloids that can only rely on the survival of this area of ​​Manchester, losing half of the reader subscriptions, and even a threat to the survival of the newspaper.

Davies is a Manchester United fan, but it does not mean that the "Manchester Telegraph" is a media biased towards Manchester United.

Therefore, if newspaper sales decline, Davis, as editor-in-chief, is undoubtedly responsible.

What is in front of Davis now is a way to quickly get rid of the pressure.

Didn't Manchester City say it, as long as the newspaper apologized and admitted that it was a coward, it would be over.

But Davis is unwilling! !

Although he has no evidence of the fight between Kaka and Erickson, in fact, this matter was fabricated by Davis after hearsay, how could there be evidence!

But what age is it now.

Now is the era of information explosion.

As soon as a lot of fake news is caught, when did Gao Bo become a master of anti-counterfeiting?

Davis only felt that he was unlucky, and fabricated news is nothing new in the media circle.

When there is no news to write about, get a "reported by an unnamed person according to internal information", and the following news can be written casually?

Of course, of course, you can't be casual, even if you make it up, you have to make it a little bit logically.

In Davis' view, the conflict between Kaka and Eriksen has logic.

How could Eriksen be willing to be robbed of the main position.

Since he is unwilling, it is also possible to have a conflict with Kaka.

Davis felt himself reasonable.

And what kept him going was another thing.

That is, is Kaka a temporary outbreak, or has he really returned to his peak level?

On this point, public opinion in England has been mixed.

But Davis is convinced that there are hands and feet here.

A 30-year-old veteran who has gone downhill for two or three years and suddenly regained his peak?

Who can believe such a thing!

Davis believes that in the next game, Kaka will definitely be the focus of the Doping Center of the Disciplinary Committee. At that time, it will be even more difficult for Gao Bo to get some hands and feet!

He decided to wait until after this game, if Kaka doesn't perform well, that's his chance for Davis to play!

I wrote you to death!

Davis stroked his bald head and smiled.

In fact, the discussion about the status of Kaka continues.

Even many media believe that in the game against Southampton, perhaps Gao Bo dared not put Kaka on it.

Even if there is no problem with Kaka, what if he is not in good condition?

If this is the case, if it falls into the Yellow River, it cannot be washed away.

Some media believe that Gao Bo should let Kaka continue to prove his strength!

Anyway, in the first half of the season, Kaka basically didn't play much in Real Madrid, and his physical fitness is absolutely no problem.

And Gao Bo did not pay attention to such remarks.

He also believes that Kaka will handle this problem by himself.

Pressure from the media is something every player in England can experience.

The media here is extremely developed, and the paparazzi of Fleet Street are watching all the bells and whistles all the time.

Historically, there have been many stars who chose to leave the Premier League because of this suffocating media environment.

Fortunately, Kaka's sinking in the past few years has made him accustomed to such an unfriendly media environment.

He was trying to slap the media that looked down on him and questioned him!
