(of a periodical) stop/suspend publication
Faced with structural adjustment, seek change between "resurrection" and "death"
When newspapers and magazines can’t maintain normal publishing, they usually take a break, not a break. On the one hand, it is mainly because the serial number of newspapers and magazines has always been a scarce resource, so it is difficult to apply for a new serial number to start a new newspaper.
On the other hand, newspapers and periodicals can readjust their contents, operations and publishing ideas during the period of suspension. For example, in mid-September, after the publication of Shantou Metropolis Daily was finally closed for nine months, its application for renaming has been approved by the state authorities: Shantou Metropolis Daily was renamed Shantou Youth Daily. This is exactly what Shantou Metropolis Daily said in "Goodbye, for a Better Meeting" on December 31 last year: Today, the publication is closed, not leaving, but starting again.

Times can’t eliminate paper media, let’s see how others do it!
Although the "paper media winter" is gradually gradual, among the most active new media at present, the new media under the paper media is still the main force.
On the one hand, many paper media either stop publishing or stop publishing, or are struggling; On the other hand, there are also many paper media that are constantly innovating in the field of new media. On the content level, those paper media that go against the trend mostly focus on new media, such as network news, quick review, Weibo, WeChat WeChat official account, mobile phone client, audio and video, media integration and other products, which have developed from a single newspaper product in the past to a "three-dimensional" multimedia and all-media integrating various means of communication.
The Beijing News "Our Video", which was established only two years ago, has handed over a brilliant report card: the total number of videos produced in the whole network exceeds 20,000, the total broadcast volume of the whole network reaches 30 billion, and the live broadcast times exceed 1,000.
There is also a new video platform "Shanghai Moment" recently launched by Xinmin Evening News, which is not only a professional news original video product that Xinmin Evening News provides users with news, life and popularity, but also a space for users and photographers to show and broadcast videos.
In terms of management, many paper media use brand and resource advantages to expand new development ideas. On the basis of the original WeChat platform of "Peninsula Car Things", Peninsula Morning Post independently developed the "Car Things" car-raising optimization APP, which is a comprehensive service platform for internet car aftermarket covering many practical functions such as "car-raising service, car information, expert question and answer, car inspection service and illegal customization".
It is understood that the Peninsula Morning Post has carried out industrial layout in many fields. Dalian Peninsula Car Watching Media Co., Ltd., which is controlled by it, completed 20 million yuan Pre-A round of financing last year, attracting Shanghai Strategic Capital and Dalian Juncheng Group Co., Ltd. to invest in shares.
This year, the business of Henan Business Daily grew against the trend. In the first eight months, its revenue increased by 35% year-on-year, and its profit doubled year-on-year. Nowadays, the industrial structure of Henan Business Daily has undergone fundamental changes, and the income from broadcasting and broadcasting only accounts for about 25% of the total income. Henan Business Daily takes "influence+"as the core, integrates resources and exports wisdom, and explores a transformation road of "supporting enterprises with media and strengthening enterprises with media".
It can be expected that after years of innovation and change in the difficult market environment, the paper media will have more rational thinking and more pragmatic measures in the future. For example, first, the brand paper media with strong position will be transformed into digital media, and digital products will be launched to adapt to the new media form; Second, the transformation to all media, but the brand paper media does not disappear, and continue to build its brand influence and play a supporting role; Third, develop to multi-industries, that is, the paper media brand extends to multi-industries, and the industry feeds back the paper media brand.
