Chapter 1276: 1276

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

The relationship between the public and the media has always been that the media inputs information to the public in one direction, and the public accepts whatever the media reports. This simple and crude communication method has lasted for centuries, and the media has always served as the mouthpiece of the government to regulate the public opinion of the entire public.

Such a relationship lasted until the 21st century. With the strong rise of the Internet, first of all, the emergence of blogs allows everyone to become a news source, which means that everyone can become a reporter, or even the media, and the popularization of media is rapidly advancing; secondly, the prosperity of forums and live chat software has made communication channels widely open, and Canada can promptly understand South Africa's news events, not only through the news media, but also through local people living in South Africa. This has caused a surge in fake news, but also promoted the innovation of news authenticity and diversity.

Finally, the emergence of social networks, which made the media's status plummet, and media reporters and ordinary people were able to stand on the same platform for communication and dialogue. The way of information transmission is not only no longer a one-way, but also a two-way, but multi-way. 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 pattern of the media industry.

However, before the Internet prospered, traditional media dominated by television, newspapers and magazines were still the main forces, shouldering the heavy responsibility of unidirectional transmission of information.

On August 5th, a news revolution started with a young volcano. However, with Baton Rouge as the center, it was in full swing throughout the North American continent.

From the Rodney King incident to the Michael Jackson incident, the tragic consequences created by the stupid mistakes of the news media have almost made the entire North American continent deeply feel. Whether it is the Los Angeles riot caused by the former or the entire entertainment and media industry directly caused by the latter, it has put forward new requirements for the news media: truth is the core that must not be ignored.

Even in the crazy era of entertainment until death, everything can become a means of entertainment, a carrier for making profits, and a target of teasing, but if the real bottom line is exceeded and endlessly exaggerated, distorted, misunderstood, and fabricated facts, then the entire entertainment industry will collapse.

Now, Young Volcano has officially posted a message to the media: Return me to the truth!

Hollywood needs entertainment, profits, and explosive points, 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 on August 5, marches and demonstrations were held in front of the main media office buildings in 21 cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Boston, Miami, and even three cities in Vancouver, Canada, Montreal and Toronto joined the movement.

According to incomplete statistics, all 25 cities mobilized more than 50,000 people, among which the most powerful one was not Baton Rouge, but Burbank in Los Angeles, "Los Angeles Times", "Hollywood Reporter", "Variety Show", "New York Times" and other newspapers were located in the square in front of the office base in Burbank. A total of 3,000 people gathered. They sat in the square in an orderly manner, holding up signs such as "Return to Me I Really Want", "Refusing the Witch Trial", and "Protesting the Uncrowned King to Cover the Sky" and sat in the square for three hours, causing a huge sensation.

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

In the early 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 when the Internet media infinitely compressed paper media in 2014, 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 supervisors, which makes the news media have a high status, and thus the title of "uncrowned king" has emerged.

But the times are progressing and society is developing. In order to cooperate with the market, the media that have always been superior has to change with the interests. Now, some people have finally challenged the supreme position of the media.

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

In fact, before this, this spirit of resistance has appeared many times. It has appeared many times when it evolved from slavery society to capitalist society, but it has never really formed a mainstream of ideas. At that time, people hoped to spread their own revolutionary theories through the media, convert the media into their own weapons to influence ordinary people, and then promote the success of the revolution.

No one could have thought that the historical process would change because of Hugo, and the awakening of young volcanoes made the news media's pain period earlier than at least five years!

Originally, everyone thought that this resistance movement was just advocated by young volcanoes to maintain Hugo's reputation and reputation. Everyone knew that the news about "Hugo was crazy" in the past week was full of controversy, and it was gradually losing control, becoming more and more exaggerated, bloody, and dramatic, and the conflict seemed to be clearer. Now, young volcanoes shouted "Return me the truth". On the surface, it seemed to be a one-way transmission of information against the media, but in fact it was to clarify the facts for Hugo and support Hugo with practical actions.

Eli, Meredith and others did think so.

But history is so true, and chance comes with necessity.

When the young volcanoes showed their support with practical actions, Steven, Rick, Joseph and others within the crew witnessed it with their own eyes. They were always looking for the exact time to clarify the facts and give reporters a perfect answer without giving Hugo more pressure, 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 knew clearly that it was obvious that the young volcanoes created a perfect time, and all they needed to do was just a light push behind the back, which was enough.

So, just as all the reporters were surrounded in the center and were waiting for the tragic ending of their drowning in panic, a noise came from the crew behind him. A reporter looked back and found someone coming, and immediately shouted sharply, "Steven, it's Steven! Steven!"

Amid the huge shouts of the young volcano, the reporter's shouts were not worth mentioning at all, but his desire to survive attracted the attention of the reporters around him, so all the reporters became turbulent and screamed wildly.

The young volcano, who was standing at the forefront, also noticed the abnormal movement and found that Steven and Rick appeared within sight. Although they were only the two of them and Hugo was not with each other, they knew that the appearance of Steven and Rick must have special significance at this moment.

So Eli, Meredith and others turned to convey the message. They first calmed the young volcanoes, and then let everyone slowly retreat, leaving a space for Steven and Rick to use.

Looking at the crowd leaving like a tide, the reporters could finally deeply feel the feeling of "escaping from death". The mixed emotions danced bitterly on the tip of their tongues. Almost at this moment, many people cried with joy, not only because they were reborn after suffering from the torture of encirclement, but also because their waiting finally came to the end, they could finally know the truth. Of course, even if it was not the truth, it was at least the official statement.

However, many reporters realized: If the truth is really unfavorable to the reporters, will the young volcanoes in front of them tear them to pieces? This idea just popped up and made them shudder.

Steven and Rick passed the layers of levels and appeared in front of the reporters. The reporters tried to show their professional skills and surrounded the two people in the center in a semicircle, but many people found that their legs were so weak that they could not stand up. This scene really made many young volcanoes burst into laughter. The ridicule and joke in the laughter made these reporters want to get into the hole, but they dared not turn around and resist.

One thousand five hundred people, and they are also a group of fanatics, unless they don't want to live anymore.

Anthony was not much better at this time. He was like he was fished out of water. His clothes had been soaked in sweat, but he knew that Steven and Rick in front of him were his life-saving straw, and he was very glad that he did not face Hugo head-on in this state, otherwise he would not know how long he could last. At the same time, Hugo did not appear, does this mean that his report was one step closer to the truth?

Thinking of this, Anthony approached the two of them urgently. The reporters finally gathered together sparsely. The crew interviews of more than 100 reporters were very large-scale, but the scene in front of him was scattered and seemed very cold.

Steven and Rick couldn't help but feel a little funny when they saw the embarrassment and miserable situation of the reporters in front of them. When did the reporters suffer such treatment? I guess there are only a handful of them.

However, Steven still coughed lightly and said to the recording pen in front of him, "There were many rumors and questions for the crew of the 'Death-Battle Walk' in the past week, and for Hugo Lancaster.... After discussion, we thought that it is time to respond to everyone's questions."
