Chapter 1179: Commentary
"I’ve already invited Her Majesty to be the Publisher of The Lily Times. Since you’ve seen the organizational structure diagram of The Lily Times, you should know that there are many positions at The Lily Times waiting to be filled. The Lily Times is still in the preparation stage and urgently needs your help." Mu Yangling said with a smile, "If anyone is interested in becoming an editor at The Lily Times, you can contact me. The Lily Times welcomes you to join."
Shocked, everyone could not help but ask, "Are the editors going to be recruited from among us?"
Mu Yangling nodded, then shook her head. "The responsibility of an editor is to review manuscripts, so talent is a prerequisite. I don’t care about the candidate’s identity. As long as she has talent, has a passable character, and is suitable for the position of editor, I’ll recruit her."
Everyone understood that in an era where everyone was generally illiterate, there were few women who could read, and there were even fewer talented people who could review poems and essays. If there were, most of them came from their class.
Therefore, if Mu Yangling wanted to recruit editors, she really had to choose from them. Otherwise, the candidate would most likely come from a scholarly family or family of officials.
Those who were proud of their talents couldn’t help but look up proudly. Those who couldn’t read couldn’t help but feel dejected. Not all women from official families could read. Some families only required women to only know how to manage the household and didn’t support them to learn to read and write.
Some people also noticed that Mu Yangling was talking about editors. There were also two Deputy Publishers listed on the paper, one Editor-in-Chief and two Deputy Editors-in-Chief. Could it be that Mu Yangling had already confirmed candidates for those positions?
Those who were interested made up their minds to think of a way to stay and ask around.
Mu Yangling did not say if she had already recruited the Deputy Publishers and the other positions. She only explained the content and section requirements of The Lily Times.
Since she wanted to raise awareness about women’s rights, The Lily Times naturally couldn’t just publish poems, songs, flowers, scenery, and things like that.
