爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
By this time Edward Bok had become so intensely interested in the editorial problem, and his partner in the periodical publishing part, that they decided to sell out their theatre-programme interests and devote themselves to the magazine and its rapidly increasing circulation. All of Edward's editorial work had naturally to be done outside of his business hours, in other words, in the evenings and on Sundays; and the young editor found himself fully occupied. He now revived the old idea of selecting a subject and having ten or twenty writers express their views on it. It was the old symposium idea, but it had not been presented in American journalism for a number of years. He conceived the topic "Should America Have a Westminster Abbey?" and induced some twenty of the foremost men and women of the day to discuss it. When the discussion was presented in the magazine, the form being new and the theme novel, Edward was careful to send advance sheets to the newspapers, which treated it at length in reviews and editorials, with marked effect upon the circulation of the magazine.

白话
此时爱德华对编辑工作和合伙的期刊出版业务兴趣浓厚,决定卖掉剧院节目单的生意,专心做杂志和不断增长的发行量。他的编辑工作只能在业余时间做,也就是晚上和周日,他忙得不可开交。他重新拾起旧点子:选一个主题,让十到二十位作家发表看法,这就是专题讨论,但美国新闻界已多年没这样做。他选了“美国该有威斯敏斯特教堂吗?”这个题目,请了二十位顶尖人物讨论。讨论刊出时,形式新颖、主题新奇,他特意把校样提前寄给报纸,报纸长篇评论和社论报道,对杂志发行量影响显著。核心是:创新内容形式并主动借媒体造势,能有效扩大影响。做法是设计新颖议题,提前给媒体提供素材。
