Chapter 386 Television And Kennedy

To everyone's surprise, Levin did not directly talk about the TV station, but first talked about the radio station.

"Have you all heard of WWN?" he asked.

WWN is the abbreviation of Wizarding_Wireless_Network, and its full name is Wizarding Wireless Network. It is a very popular comprehensive radio station in the magical world... In other words, it is almost the only formal wizarding radio station in the entire Yin Kingdom.

Speaking of this, Muggle-born wizards like Hermione, or visitors from other worlds like Cirilla and Jaina, don't feel anything at all.

On the other hand, Zhang Qiu and Tonks, young wizards from wizarding families, were deeply impressed by this.

"I've heard it, I've heard it!" Tonks became interested when she mentioned this. "I have loved listening to WWN programs since I was a child, especially Glenda Chittock's "Magic Hour" and the Weird Sisters. In this show.”

Zhang Qiu also talked about WWN, "Actually, my mother also likes "Magic Time" because they play songs by Celestina Warbeck, who is my mother's favorite singer."

Luna also mentioned one thing: "My dad loves to listen to Toots' Rooting Show, and he recently learned how to peel Gordigia roots on the show."

After listening to their impressions of Wizard Radio, Levin nodded:

"Although there is no television station in the wizarding world, radio stations have been established imitating Muggles. The impact of television stations on the wizarding world can be fully referred to the example of radio stations.

Levin said, and began to introduce the radio station systematically,... In fact, compared to traditional paper media, radio stations have a series of advantages. For example, radio stations transmit information through sound, and they have more advantages. Strong immediacy and appeal. What's even better is that reading newspapers takes a lot of time and energy, but radio stations are not that troublesome. In their busy lives, people can get information through radio stations anytime and anywhere.

As he spoke, he gave an example, "People can't read newspapers while working, but a housewife can listen to the radio while cooking."

"My mother often does this." Zhang Qiu felt the same way.

Levin nodded: "Therefore, we can see that among the younger generation of wizards, Wizard Radio is becoming more and more influential, and has reached a point where it can keep pace with traditional print media. The former was only a new product more than ten years ago. The latter is deeply rooted in wizard society and has a history of hundreds of years."

Hermione immediately thought of Muggle history, "This is simply a reappearance of Muggle history.

"After all, both Muggles and wizards have the same needs for information and entertainment." Levin commented.

Then, he mentioned the TV station:

"In fact, TV stations can be regarded as an upgraded version of radio stations. Compared with radio stations that only have sound, TV is an organic combination of images, sounds and text, presenting a more real and vivid world to the audience, which makes it more interesting to the audience. The appeal far exceeds that of radio stations, let alone print media.

Having said this, he paused and his tone became serious:

"The most important thing is that TV stations have stronger emotional rendering capabilities, and their publicity effects are far better than traditional media, and we need this kind of publicity method."

“Didn’t we already have ‘The Quibbler’?”

Onyxia reminded, "The preliminary preparations and reports about the sage and the howling monster have been completed, and now everyone knows that "The Quibbler" has created two more inexplicable fantasy species. You just need to add Relevant research papers were published in the "Annual Magazine of Fantastic Beasts" [The contrast of fantasy coming true is enough to push the influence of "The Quibbler" to a new level."

"Are you making progress so fast? Great, I will remember this."

Levin was very happy when he heard this,

But he still said, "It's not enough to have just one Quibbler. This is just the first step for us to influence public opinion, and it's also a way to cultivate our own media people."

We need to have greater control over public opinion. Considering the existing influence of traditional print media, we can only overtake through TV stations. "

After that, Levin thought for a while and gave another case:

"You may not have heard of the first live Muggle election in the United States. This is an excellent example of the influence of television public opinion. In that television program, the two presidential candidates of the United States had a debate, which greatly affected the outcome of the election.”

"Oh, would you like to hear the details?" Speaking of this, Jaina also became interested,

After all, she is also targeting the Minister of Magic, and she is fully capable of benchmarking against presidential candidates in this regard.

So Levin talked about that period of history, "The two candidates in the United States at that time were Nixon from the Elephant Party and Kennedy from the Donkey Party. In that TV debate, the veteran Nixon lost to Kennedy due to image issues, and ultimately lost. Lost the election."

"Losing the election because of a TV debate?" Onyxia said in disbelief, "This is too exaggerated."

"This is of course an exaggeration," Levin nodded, "but we also need to admit that poor performance on television was also an important reason for Nixon's defeat. In fact, Nixon had an advantage in terms of policies and experience, but he Nervous performances and a poor image in the televised debates left voters with a negative impression. Kennedy won over voters with a confident, calm performance."

As he spoke, Levin looked at Jaina and looked up and down with admiration.

"You...what are you looking at me for?"

Being stared directly at by Levin with ambiguous eyes, Jaina suddenly blushed.

She found that the boy had become more and more handsome recently.

Levin praised seriously, "I'm looking at my sister Gianna. Why is she so beautiful?"

"No way... I'm already in my thirties, so I can't compare to a young girl." Gianna held her face in her hands (bieg) and said modestly.

"No way, sister Gianna is very beautiful."

"That's right, don't belittle yourself."

"Sister Gianna is the most beautiful in my eyes."

As soon as she said this, everyone agreed with Levin and praised her.

In fact, under the influence of magic, Jaina's appearance has been maintained very well, and she looks the same age as Tonks.

In this respect, Azeroth is still a bit more advanced than the Harry Potter world--don't you realize that Aegwynn is hundreds of years old and still looks like a young woman, while Dumbledore, who is only over a hundred years old, already has a wrinkled face as an old man.

But for the sake of work, while using magic to stay young, Gianna specially put on make-up that looked mature so that her true face could be revealed in front of Levin and the others.

So everyone's praise is not flattery,

But at this time, Onyxia stood up and sang the opposite tune:

"Aren't we talking about the TV station? Why are we suddenly talking about Gianna's face?"

She looked at Levin suspiciously,

"What tricks are you planning again?"

"It's nothing." Levin shrugged, "I just think that once we popularize television among wizards, Sister Jaina's face will be the best publicity.

As he spoke, he even came forward and touched Jaina's face, looking like a gangster: "Look at it, this fair and tender little face, isn't it more attractive than Fudge's ugly old face?" I am an ordinary wizard, so I would choose Sister Jaina because I can see her pretty face a few more times.

"Hate!"

Jaina let out a coy sound and patted Levin's finger.

This funny scene immediately caused a burst of laughter.

But after laughing, everyone had to admit that Levin was right.

Of course, the real Fudge is not ugly.

In other words, no one who can become the Minister of Magic under the electoral system is truly ugly.

But if he really stands with Jaina, then Fudge will really be set off as a goblin.

Everyone present was a smart person, and after drinking the elixir of intelligence, they immediately understood what Levin meant.

In the case of the Muggle presidential election, Kennedy is clearly far inferior to Nixon in terms of actual ability and qualifications.

His advantage lies in his youth and excellent image.

And his smart choice of television propaganda amplified his advantage in this area and defeated Nixon in one fell swoop.

This aspect is indeed worth learning from.

In terms of ability, Jaina is no worse than Fudge.

The only difference between them is their qualifications and reputation.

After all, Fudge is an old politician. He has been with the Ministry of Magic for many years. His connections and reputation are not comparable to that of a young man like Gianna.

But through the TV station, they can completely bypass these existing advantages of Fudge.

"You said it, establishing a TV station is indeed a good idea." After Onyxia grasped the essence of the TV station, she immediately changed her previous opinion and completely responded to Levin.

"Hey, I obviously watch TV at home every day, why didn't I think of this?" Hermione also slapped her thigh fiercely, feeling ashamed and feeling that her role as a Muggle was in vain.

"It seems that establishing a wizard TV station can be our next goal."

Jaina also made a decision, "Although the television station is a new thing and is easily rejected by the generally conservative wizards, since the wizarding world can accept the radio station, it can also accept the television station... It's just that if you want to convince Fudge, you still have to accept it." An opportunity is needed.”

"After the Dark Lord is resurrected, it is easy to find opportunities." Levin smiled slightly, "After all, we control most of the Auror power. Once the Death Eaters are rampant, there will be many opportunities for Fudge to ask us for help. Before that, I will first Just do some preliminary research.”

So at this dinner table, they all made plans to establish a TV station.

"But there's just one thing to note." Levin suddenly reminded Sister Gianna not to ride in a convertible at that time.

"???"
