爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

Bok went South for a month's holiday to get ready for the fray, and in the saddle and on the golf links he formulated a policy. The newspapers and weeklies would send innumerable correspondents to the front, and obviously, with the necessity for going to press so far in advance, The Journal could not compete with them. They would depict every activity in the field. There was but one logical thing for him to do: ignore the "front" entirely, refuse all the offers of correspondents, men and women, who wanted to go with the armies for his magazine, and cover fully and practically the results of the war as they would affect the women left behind. He went carefully over the ground to see what these would be, along what particular lines women's activities would be most likely to go, and then went home and back to Washington.

白话

博克去南方休假一个月,骑马打球时想好了策略:战争一开,报纸周刊会派无数记者去前线,杂志因出版周期长根本拼不过。于是他决定完全放弃前线报道,谢绝所有随军记者,转而完整、实用地报道战争对留在家里的女性有什么影响。他仔细推演女性活动最可能集中在哪些方面,然后回华盛顿。这背后的取舍是:不跟对手拼速度,而是换一个没人抢的角度,把资源押在自己能赢的地方。

上下文

出自博克自传,背景是一战爆发前后,他正为《妇女家庭杂志》谋划战时报道方向。
