Chapter 269 Newspaper Supervision Department
"The first point, and the main reason why so many of us have come here, is that we need a fair, truthful interview that provides a positive description of the insights that Boschbotton's exchange students gained at Hogwarts."
Ryan hadn't finished speaking.
Gu Fei nodded repeatedly. This condition was too lenient. If it were only this one condition, he would have agreed on the spot and gone to Hogwarts every day to personally interview these exchange students.
"The Daily Prophet needs to be regulated. Just as Mr. Guo Fei just said, there are unprofessional temporary workers and unscrupulous reporters like Rita. These people need to be regularly regulated and the team of 'pure' should be audited regularly."
"Okay————" Although Gu Fei found it hard to accept being shackled as the "uncrowned king" of the Daily Prophet, he had no choice but to submit to the circumstances.
Two days later.
The Daily Prophet featured an article on its front page titled "Hogwarts Through Beauxbatons' Eyes."
The text uses detailed and unbiased language to depict what Beauxbatons students saw, heard, thought, liked, and disliked at Hogwarts.
Its author is listed as Gu Fei.
The last time the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet personally wrote an article was on the day Voldemort fell from power.
Secondly, the Daily Prophet also reported that it will be subject to oversight in the future, and that any improper records made by its reporters will be severely punished.
Upon hearing this, countless old wizards who had been poisoned by Rita were moved to tears. They had finally waited for this day and wrote to the Daily Prophet to complain about Rita's unscrupulous behavior as a journalist.
In an instant, Rita became a pariah.
It can be said that from then on, Rita could no longer stand in the world of journalism and literature, and now no bookstore or newspaper could withstand such strong public opposition.
Hogwarts, on the shore of the Black Lake.
"You mean you want me to oversee the Daily Prophet?"
Fleur encountered Penelope and Ryan discussing some issues she didn't understand. She unconsciously went up to greet them, but unexpectedly received such a commission. Since the supervision of the Daily Prophet was basically decided by Ryan on his own, the supervisor was naturally arranged by Ryan. The Ministry of Magic did not have the courage to arrange personnel in advance.
“Yes, this counts as social practice,” Penelope said. “I told him that you have come from afar, and each of you is an excellent student at Beauxbatons. Regular courses cannot help you, so why not give you some extracurricular practice opportunities to consider your future development.”
“What Penelope said is exactly what I was thinking. If I want to get things done, I need a purse, a pen, and a knife handle. For the pen, I naturally need to find a thoughtful friend to help me.” Ryan handed over a stack of blank appointment letters: “I’ve spoken with the Ministry of Magic, and they’ll provide a few Aurors and staff. I’ll arrange the rest. Now I’m handing all of this over to you.”
"I won't let you down, and neither will the students of Beauxbatons." Fleur solemnly accepted the appointment letters—these positions were said to oversee the Daily Prophet, and would certainly be expanded to all news media in the future. Moreover, given Ryan's style of doing things, these positions would definitely have absolute authority.
Such important positions are virtually impossible to fall into the hands of ordinary wizards. Even if they are the best students in Beauxbatons' class, they may not be able to get such positions. It depends on a strong family background or someone with extremely powerful abilities.
Ryan cautioned, "There's no need to be so serious. It doesn't matter if you don't do well. Don't put too much pressure on everyone, Hibiscus. After all, I've always been one to appoint people based on personal connections, and everyone can see that."
He was worried that Furong was taking this matter too seriously, urging Beauxbatons' students to work overtime every day, which caused a great deal of distress.
"Don't worry, Fleur. If it doesn't go well, it's all Ryan's fault." Penelope also laughed, "Don't be afraid of mistakes and errors; no one is born knowing everything. And we have the resources and the luck—"
Because no matter what we do, there will always be someone to back us up.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." Furong swallowed what she originally wanted to say and smiled as she accepted the task. After all, now that the three of them had reached this point, what she originally wanted to say would seem unusually distant.
Full of confidence, she went back to hold a meeting with Beauxbatons and the others.
Ryan and Penelope continued to discuss the problems they encountered in actual production.
Having received assurances and freed up to act, Fleur acted with lightning speed, meeting with the Ministry of Magic's staff within a day.
Two groups of people arrived at Diagon Alley one after the other.
"Hello, Ms. Tonks, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Miss Delacour, it's a pleasure to meet you too. You are as beautiful as the rumors say."
Because the Aurors are currently short-staffed, Tonks Nymphadora, who is still in training, has been assigned some unimportant clerical work to work with the representatives sent by Hogwarts to build a regulatory system for the newspaper.
"Even when I was still in school, I knew that kid Ryan was destined for great things." A rebellious soul
Dressed as a "rebellious girl," she blew bubble gum and chatted happily with Fleur: "But I really didn't expect that just two years after graduation, the wizarding world would undergo such earth-shattering changes because of him."
She looked out the window and saw more and more people pouring into the highest point of Diagon Alley—the Tower of Fantasy.
Furong asked curiously, "What kind of person is Ryan, as you know him, senior?"
"Unrestrained... flamboyant... but far less decisive than now, acting very cautiously and paying close attention to the principal's opinion." Tonks thought for a moment, then shrugged: "But I don't interact with him much, so my opinion of him may be quite biased."
It seems this "rebellious" senior is actually a conservative... Hibiscus smiled and agreed, a clear understanding forming in her mind: Radicals like Ryan naturally attract a group of idealistic and ambitious young people; it could be said that youthful exuberance leads some less rational individuals astray into their idealistic fantasies. Those who simply want a peaceful life generally remain bystanders towards Ryan and his ilk.
She didn't notice the "rumor" that Tonks mentioned, taking it as just a polite remark from her senior.
She asked in a similarly polite manner, "What are the ministers of the Ministry of Magic's thoughts on the newspaper's supervision?"
'
"How could I possibly have any ideas? I've been scared out of my wits by Ryan. Even that old fogey doesn't want to deal with Ryan. That old fogey would rather write to Mr. Dumbledore using the traditional method of sending letters by owl. Besides, Senior Ralph has given his full support in the Council of Ministers. So I was sent here."
Seeing that Fleur looked puzzled, she explained, "I'm still undergoing Auror training and taking assessments. I won't be here most of the time. In other words, I won't interfere with anything that happens here, as long as it doesn't violate wizarding law."
Of course, if Ryan instructs you to write an article that violates wizarding laws or secrecy laws, I'll only inquire about the procedure; the rest is up to those big shots to worry about... She kept those words to herself.
