Chapter 174

"Dear Mr. wall, it's time to select the gold medal writers again. Which writer do you recommend to participate in the selection?"

Wall was reading a newspaper in his seat when his colleague came up and asked.

As soon as he heard this, he remembered that it was time for Time magazine to select the gold medal writers.

Every four years, time selects a gold, a silver and a bronze writer. Gold medal writers mainly refer to those who have made great contributions to time, such as popularity or sales.

In addition to the cash prize of 50000, the winner can also win the trophy of gold medal writer. Of course, the most important thing for many writers is honor. After all, to be a gold medal writer in a famous newspaper is the representative of strength and talent.

This is an award set up by Paul Lawson, the founder of time magazine, on his deathbed to encourage and attract more outstanding writers to contribute to time magazine. After all, he deeply knows that a good writer has a great influence on a newspaper. With the encouragement of Paul Lawson, Time magazine has come to its present position.

"I think it's Kevin. Although he published articles in newspapers and periodicals for less than a year, the popularity and sales he brought to our newspapers and periodicals are obvious to all. So, I think I recommend him as the gold medal writer this time. "

"OK, then I'll write down Kevin's name."

Wall's colleagues are specially responsible for counting the writers recommended by each editor, so after hearing wall's recommendation list, he turned to ask other colleagues.

The selection process of gold medal writers is that each editor recommends a writer quota, and then puts them on the Internet. In addition to allowing readers to vote, the leader of the newspaper has to make the final judgment. Therefore, every year, the colleagues in charge of this matter will go to count the list.

Generally, the writers recommended by editors are writers who have been published in time for a long time and have a stable audience. Like Bogut and others.

But Wall thinks that since Kevin published an article in time magazine, Time magazine has entered the minds of many readers and won a lot of praise. So, although Kevin doesn't publish a lot of articles in this newspaper, the time is not very long. But he still recommended it.

Wall thinks it's necessary to tell Kevin about it. After all, after he recommends it, it's up to the readers to vote. Only those who vote the most can get the title of gold medal writer.

So, after a cup of tea, wall called Kevin and told him about the gold medal writer election.

"What? Mr. wall, you said that you recommended me to be the time's gold medal writer Kevin said in surprise.

"Yes, since you wrote a column in our newspaper, you have brought a lot of sales and readers to our newspaper. I think this kind of contribution can be selected as a gold medal writer. " Mr. wall said.

"But as far as I know, not everyone of you is eligible for the title of a gold medal writer. It must be a writer who has published articles in newspapers for a long time and has won certain praise. Although I have received a lot of praise, I haven't published articles in your newspapers for a long time. "

Kevin has read the selection news of time's gold medal writers, so he knows something about some of the situation.

"Don't worry, there can be exceptions to everything. What's more, who is more suitable to be a gold medal writer than you with your present achievements. "

"But

"Dear Kevin, don't be. Believe me, you can call it a gold medal writer. You are the best

This is the self-confidence that Kevin once told him, and now wall has conveyed this belief back to Kevin.

"Well, thank you for your attention."

"Well, I'll let you know when the voting starts. I believe your readers will help you become the highest voter. "

That's why Wall decided to tell Kevin the news ahead of time, because he believed that Kevin's huge readership would be willing to register as a member of time magazine or pay to vote for him. In this way, it also helped Time magazine boost its popularity.

But as soon as wall and Kevin hung up, time's vice president, raven doff, told him to come over.

Raven doff is specially responsible for the selection of this gold medal writer. When his subordinates brought up the list of writers recommended by various editors, he read it roughly. When he saw that wall recommended Kevin's name, he asked wall to come in curiously.

"Hi, dear Mr. Raven doff, you are said to call me?" Said wall, knocking at the door.

"Yes, come in. I have a question for you to answer Raven doff said to wall.

So wall went into Raven doff's office and sat down.

"I don't know. What's Raven doff's question? Is it about me recommending Kevin as the gold medal writer this time? "

Wall had a hunch that Raven doff had asked himself to come in for this, so he asked ahead of time.

"Yes, the criteria for our newspapers and periodicals to choose this gold medal writer have always been writers who have made certain contributions to the newspapers and periodicals and have published articles in the newspapers and periodicals for a long time. But it's only in the last few months that Kevin started publishing articles in our newspaper. I'm afraid it's not up to that. " Raven doff said what he thought.

"Dear Mr. Raven dove, I know the rule. Although Kevin didn't publish articles in our newspapers for a long time, his articles made us gain a lot of readers and sales. And his "Ode to the Nightingale" also brought us a historic attention. I think with this, he can get the title of a gold medal writer. " Wall explained.

Raven doff seemed to find some truth in this explanation. After all, he knows that the sales of newspapers and periodicals have been at the peak recently. All these achievements are also due to the fact that Kevin has opened a column and attracted many readers.

Raven doff thought for a moment, then said“ All right. Let's put Kevin on the list. Whether he can be selected or not depends on the votes of the readers. "

"It's up to the reader, of course. This is also the purpose of our press. Oh, thank you, Mr. Raven doff

When wall heard that Raven doff finally agreed with his point of view, his face was full of smiles. After all, he believes that as long as Kevin can qualify, it will be very easy to become a gold medal writer.
