Few!The disappearing Xicheng Newspaper Pavilion

Modern Express (Reporter Yuliting Text / Photo), as the former "City Scenic Line", newspapers and periodicals have been spreading all over the streets of Pavilion Wuxi. In addition to the mission of transporting information and transporting news, newspapers and periodicals have also been a generation of "spiritual homeland". Now with the changes of the times and the rise of new media, newspapers and periodicals in cities are gradually "disappearing". Recently, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times, modern times. Express reporters found that the number of newspapers and periodicals in the urban area was less than 10 after visiting the newspaper pavilion in Wuxi.

Almost no one buys and sells drinks to become "main business"

At the intersection of Jiefang South Road and Huaishu Lane, there is a newspapers and periodical pavilions that have many years. Although the main business of newspapers and periodicals is to sell newspapers and journals, there are only two newspapers on the table. From time to time, citizens from the hospital come to buy water and drink.

"Only a few elderly people will come to buy newspapers, all of which are the old masters." Mr. Xu, the operator of the newspaper pavilion, told reporters, "Young people occasionally buy some magazines, and they are too expensive. There are only a few records on the accounting bills, and they are all beverages, a total of not more than 20 yuan.

There is also a newspaper pavilion on the Jiefang South Road, which is close to Nanzen Temple. Compared with Mr. Xu's newspaper pavilion, the customer has more customers near Nanzen Temple, and the operator Pharaoh (pseudonym) has been operating here for nearly 30 years. "There are vegetable farms and scenic spots nearby, many people, many people buy drinks and masks." Pharaoh told reporters. "There is a public toilet nearby, and selling tissues is also the main business. Basically, no one can buy newspapers."

Ms. Zhou runs a newspapers and periodicals at the entrance of Wuxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Different from the previous two newspapers and periodicals, in addition to selling drinks, lottery tickets are also the main economic source of newspapers and periodicals. "I dare not enter the newspaper when I buy it, and occasionally I buy it." Ms. Zhou said, "I can't sell it, and those who want to buy can not buy it, which is very contradictory."

Survival difficulties will continue to decrease in the future

In 2009, Wuxi remedied various types of pavilion at that time due to the relevant requirements of the city's capacity rectification, including more than 200 newspapers and periodicals. At that time, only a small number of newspapers and periodicals were retained, and Pharaoh's newspaper pavilion was one of them. Until 2014, in order to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the citizens, Wuxi planned to add newspapers for new public places and convenient information service booths, and Wuxi Newspaper Pavilion returned to the lives of citizens. However, the new newspapers and magazines failed to re -form a scale and closed them.

At present, the number of newspapers and periodicals in Wuxi City is less than ten, and operators in the industry have no opportunities. "I can't remember where there are newspapers, but there are absolutely no ten." Ms. Zhou said that the previous peers have basically been transferred, and they are very confused about the future of the industry.

Pharaoh is more unfamiliar with "peers". He called his newspaper pavilion as "the last family of Wuxi". For the current business trend, Pharaoh said that the Wuxi newspapers will become history after a few years. Mr. Xu also bluntly said: "I originally felt that the newspapers and magazines under the management of retirement life were also good. I didn't expect the situation to be so bad, and persisted for a maximum of two years."

Call for the society to pay attention and seek more way out

The survival dilemma of newspapers and periodicals is common nationwide. Many newspapers and periodicals can only become "small sales department" in the end, but for Wuxi's newspapers in Wuxi, there seems to be difficulties in "small sales department".

"Selling anything can only be in the pavilion, and the scope is slightly exceeded that the pavilion will be required to be recovered." A newspaper pavilion operator told reporters that most newspapers and periodical pavilions currently have the qualifications to sell groceries and can provide charging for electric bicycles to provide charging charging. Service, but due to the control requirements, "there is no place for charging devices to put it. Putting outside is to affect the market capacity. We also have freezers, but we can only put them in the pavilion. Customers don't even know that we have freezers."

The reporter observed that such problems almost bothering every newspaper and magazine operator. "I hope to give us more living space and relax the restrictions within a reasonable range." Keep this memory. "

Some citizens said that newspapers and periodicals also need to update in a timely manner to meet the times and meet the diverse needs of urban life. It is understood that in recent years, cities have launched pilot projects for intelligent newspapers and periodicals, combining digital media and paper media, and providing a variety of functional services. In the future, the new newspaper pavilion may find a new balance in spiritual and cultural needs and urban life needs.
