The press is expected to develop healthily
30/10/15
The scheme of development and management of Vietnamese journalism to 2025,
which was issued by the Ministry of Information and Communication, had made me
very glad. The content, program and institution of the scheme were built to
make the press develop healthily.
In my opinion, the scheme has shown the principle of the Party’s absolute
leadership to the press, the rightness in the press’s management and been
suitable with the urgent demand of the time, as well upholding the traditional
values of Vietnam’s
revolutionary press and accessing the modern press’s values. This is necessary
exchange to develop the press on a solid cultural foundation with the unique
and universal nature of a modern nation.
In the internationalization process, the press is developing almost
spontaneous, unhealthily. Therefore it’s very necessary and crucial to put the
press’s development under control, unity and healthiness, avoiding bad effects
to the public community. Besides, the implementation of the press’s management
will give the basic principles of the revolutionary press that is suitable with
the movement of the international press.
In fact, in the recent process, the development of Vietnamese press has
been focusing on the quantity not the quality. Presses are everywhere from associations
to companies... Many reasons for “the representing voice” of offices were given
to establish newspapers. Universities, colleagues are even competing to
establish the journalism – communication faculty, training and quickly
certifying dozens of future reporters. And then thousands of students are in
favor of journalism as an elite job. But unfortunately a lot of them were made
redundant afterward. This leads to ugly competition and inadequate products of
the press.
Therefore, in recent time, Vietnamese press has not only the achievements
but also problems. A lot of journalists are underestimating the leading role of
the press to the public opinions and thoughts. They are just focusing on the
negative sides of the society, issuing ranges of articles about robbery,
killing and raping. These journalists haven’t longer been the spiritual
instructors and even become the dark points in the press forums in some cases.
Facing the problem, the Party and State have to strengthen the management
of the press, restructuring and pointing out clearly the principles in the
press’s activities, especially with the breakthrough in science and technology,
Vietnamese press has transformed strongly. The press is not only the soldier on
the spiritual and cultural front of the Party, a mean of edification to meet
diverse cultural needs of the public, a propagandizing tool, but also the forum
of the people, the place of exchange, showing the will and desire of the people
and the multicast informative place of the society.
Although there are still controversial debates… the scheme of managing is
the new structure, adjusting the press agencies, creating a healthy order of
the press.
I believe that the scheme will help the press to improve itself and raise
its efficiency; putting the press’s agencies back on the right track as a
informative mean, a propagandizing tool, the important spiritual weapon of the
Party and State, and the forum of the people./.
