    "I love Braddock and always believe that the history and tradition of Braddock can be continued. Some people may think, why do you, a young man, want to talk about history and tradition? I will tell them, this is our Braddock.  It is the common wish of many young people in Dok. We don¡¯t want our junior students to have no stadium or library in the future"

    Facing the TV camera, Wang Lei talked freely.  Today he wore a dark suit and had a traditional hairstyle. He looked very old-fashioned. Of course, this was relative to his age and gave people a mature and stable feeling.

    Emily's work was very efficient, or in other words, the local media in Pittsburgh responded quickly. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh Tribune, and Pittsburgh Cable News all sent reporters the next day. Emily did not just contact one media.  , but cast a wide net, hoping that as many media outlets as possible will report on Wang Lei.

    However, all they can do is provide news clues. Whether the media will be interested, when they will come, and how to report and interpret it are beyond their control.

    In fact, the reporters from the Post and the Tribune only conducted a simple interview with Wang Lei, and then left to collect information elsewhere. Only the reporters from the news station were very interested in the news, asked a lot of questions, and took photos.  Got some video material.

    This female reporter named Rachel McAdams is very young, only 20 years old. She is still studying in college, Department of Drama and Performance at New York University. This is not New York in the United States, but a public university in Toronto, Canada. Rachel is also Canadian.  , her home is in St. Thomas on Lake Erie, a small city of thirty thousand people.

    St. Thomas is across the lake from Erie, Pennsylvania, and is not far from Pittsburgh. Rachel is an actor in the university drama troupe and performed in Pittsburgh this year. During the holidays, she got an internship opportunity at a TV station through a familiar relationship.

    Rachel was very interested in this news. She felt that she had found a good news topic, which might open up her career in the TV station.

    "It's great, many people will fall in love with you!" Rachel said with a smile, revealing two charming deep dimples on her cheeks. Her mouth was big, but not ugly, a bit like the movie star Julia.  Roberts, she looks energetic, youthful, elegant and sweet.

    Wang Lei couldn¡¯t help but compare Rachel with Emily. Rachel is a typical white girl with a larger frame, a big face and facial features, and two small dimples that show her sweetness.

    Emily is said to be one-quarter Asian, one-quarter Latino, and half white. She is tall, but slender, and her facial features are more refined and rounded. She looks like a doll.  .

    The final result of the comparison is that Emily wins. Of course, Rachel also has a unique and very attractive charm, but that has nothing to do with Wang Lei. He only hopes that the other party can say more good things for him on TV.  .

    "So, when will this interview be broadcast?" Wang Lei asked with a smile.

    Rachel put away her notebook, pen and walkman for interviews, and casually combed her long black hair with a hint of brown: "I don't know, but I think the station will be interested and make arrangements as soon as possible."

    "Oh, I hope!" Wang Lei was very dissatisfied with the result, but he couldn't change anything. The other party was just an intern. She had no say in when the show would be broadcast or even whether it could be broadcast.

    However, Rachel was really interested in the news. After sending away the cameraman on the stage, she stayed alone again, intending to learn more about the situation.  Emily offered to help and introduced her to the town's history, current situation, and some important buildings. They also visited the library, medical center, and town government offices, and also communicated with the Braddock Club, I Love Bu  People from the Ruddock Volunteer Association met face to face.

    "Yes, it's in the newspaper!"

    The next day, when everyone met on the field as usual, almost everyone had a newspaper in their hands, some holding the "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette", some holding the "Pittsburgh Tribune", and some holding  Two newspapers.

    ¡°Rex, your photo is in the post, cool!¡±

    The Post and the Tribune are the first and second most circulated newspapers in the Pittsburgh area respectively. The positions of the two newspapers are also different. The Post is more left-leaning, while the Tribune's stance is more conservative.

    It was also Braddock¡¯s campaign news, but the two newspapers reported it in completely different ways. The Post¡¯s headline was ¡°Eighteen-year-old mayoral candidate tries to save steel town.¡±

    "The title is very catchy, isn't it?" Wang Lei said with a smile. As Asians, their family also subscribed to the Post.

    This news is based on Wang Lei¡¯s participation in the competitionAs the reason for the election, it reported in detail the background of the election, Wang Lei¡¯s reasons for running, his policy agenda and aspirations, and also introduced the situation of another candidate Hawke, and finally mentioned the history of Braddock.  and current situation, the content is more detailed.

    The article concluded: The town of Braddock is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment. They are likely to gradually die out after the decline of the steel industry. Both candidates hope to use the power of the government to change the fate of the town. Eighteen-year-old Lei  Max King placed his hope in the history and tradition of the town and hoped to build a cultural town; Hawke, who was twenty years older than him, was once a successful entrepreneur. He placed his hope in the new economy and hoped that the town could be like Pittsburgh.  , to achieve industrial transformation, which method is more suitable for the development of small towns?  Which of them can get the support of the town?  Ten days later, Braddock's mayoral election will reveal the final answer.

    "But that guy Hawke is also in the newspaper!"

    ¡°Damn Post!¡±

    While the Post mentioned Wang Lei, it also mentioned Hawke. In its final summary, it even more implicitly supported Hawke, which made everyone very dissatisfied.

    The same goes for Wang Lei, but he still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Hawke does not lack exposure. This does not have a big effect on him, but it is different for us. I dare say that now Braddock, everyone  Everyone knows what we stand for, and our chances are getting bigger.¡±

    This is also true. Hawke does not lack exposure, let alone popularity. Otherwise, with his energy, he would have had the media cover Braddock's campaign long ago, but he did not. Perhaps he knew very well that news and advertising are different.  The spotlight will not be on him alone.

    The headline of the Tribune is: An 18-year-old boy runs for mayor. Can tradition be revived?

    As a conservative newspaper, the Tribune did not report on Braddock's campaign or the economic proposals of Wang Lei and Hawke with great fanfare. This was contrary to the conservative ideas of small government and free market. The focus of their reporting was  The Braddock Club and the I Love Braddock Volunteers Association, as well as Wang Lei's "community revitalization" plan, are only briefly mentioned in the background.

    For Wang Lei, the good news is that the Tribune seems to be very interested in the topic of "community revitalization" and has no more information introducing Hawke, let alone biased language.

    The bad news is that the economic stimulus plan he most urgently wants everyone to know about was not mentioned in the Tribune.

    "Oh, who said the media must be objective and fair? They can say the same thing in a different way!" Wang Lei shook off the newspaper in his hand and said with a hint of ridicule.

    "Of course, the position of each media is different. They all lack a sense of responsibility and their purpose is just to chase subscriptions and profits." Douglas put away all the useless newspapers. He was an environmentalist and was enthusiastic about doing various things.  Volunteer, the goal is to save the earth from dire straits.

    Emily combed her long hair with her white fingers: "Gee, Doug is right. The readers of the Post and the Tribune are different. My dad likes to read the Post, while my mother likes to read the Forum.  Report."

    "Rex, we have good news."

    Colin had been reading the newspaper and seemed to be doing a statistics on vocabulary or even letters. He suddenly clicked on the article in the Tribune: "They seem to want to do a series of reports."

    "A series of reports?" Wang Lei jumped up from the steps. If that was the case, it would definitely be good news for him.
