Chapter 104: Making it to Mainstream Media
Chapter 104: Making it to Mainstream Media
They were still working overtime on the report and had just sent it to their superior.
A moment later, another communication came in.
"Is it no good?"
"Your report is very well done," the superior mumbled. "But the perspective isn’t elevated enough."
"...Not elevated enough?"
The superior cleared his throat twice. A gentleman from the Cabinet had originally called, requesting a report to subtly guide public opinion. In response, he had set aside a spot for it on the bottom half of the front page.
But just as they finalized the draft, a communication came in from a major figure.
It was a personal call, an order given by the man himself!
"Turn this issue’s material into a feature series. You need to create a three-to-five-part special report covering topics like parent-child relationships, the current lack of strict regulation on the Star Network, the numerous malicious comments, and the self-media accounts stirring up conflict for profit."
A feature series?!
It had been ages since they’d done a feature series. The team lead asked cautiously, "Why does this report require so many changes? Is it because...?"
"The orders are from our direct superiors—one from the Cabinet, the other from the Admiral’s office." Fearing it would shock the team lead too much, the superior didn’t mention it was the Admiral himself.
But that was already astonishing enough. "I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
"I’m counting on you. Finish the first installment and send it to the layout editor immediately. We’re publishing this edition tomorrow morning."
"Understood."
With this sacred mission resting on his shoulders, the team lead couldn’t help but ask Xiao Wen if the streamer she wrote about knew she had powerful backers.
"Th-that can’t be, can it?" Xiao Wen remembered her junior emphasizing that the streamer had started from the slums.
"Why not? The report is being upgraded to a feature series."
"But all I know is that this streamer comes from a poor background and doesn’t seem to be a native of the Federation’s main planet."
"But the ones speaking up for her are the Cabinet and the Admiral’s office!" the team lead exclaimed, his expression exaggerated.
But—
Xiao Wen scratched her head. She had watched Jiang Jiujiu’s streams too, from start to finish, and she didn’t seem like someone with powerful connections at all. ’Could it be that people in the Cabinet and the Admiral’s office are her fans, and that’s why they spoke up for her?’
"Impossible."
"That’s the Cabinet and the Admiral’s office! At that level, who has time to watch streams?" The team lead waved his hand dismissively. "Forget it. Let’s not discuss this anymore. Let’s get to work on the feature."
The two of them got to work on the feature series with great diligence.
The layout editor was also rushing them. The report was finally completed at three in the morning.
Following the Federation News’s usual broadcast schedule, the office released the report at six in the morning through the official Federation News Star Network account.
They officially gave Jiang Qiuqiu their stamp of approval: A good platform can help facilitate friendly communication between parents and children.
They also stated: In this new era, we can also use the Star Network and other online tools to open up to our parents and relatives about our personal thoughts and feelings.
The fans of the marketing accounts, who were still clamoring, went silent the moment they saw the report.
This was Federation News! Mainstream media! When they spoke, it was basically the final word.
Seeing this, the marketing accounts also scurried to delete all their videos, comments, and arguments with netizens, then retreated into their shells.
After all, they just wanted to make a bit of money; they didn’t want to jeopardize their future earning potential.
This wave of deletions made Jiang Qiuqiu’s fans even more ecstatic! ’Why did you delete your posts? It’s because you have a guilty conscience!’
A wave of triumphant joy washed over everyone. Afterward, they began to feel proud of Jiang Qiuqiu!
My Juju! A rookie streamer in the food section, and she actually made it onto the mainstream media!
My Juju is #1, confirmed!
