Journalists make great contributions to nation
Journalists make great contributions to nation
Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc hailed the great contributions generations of Vietnamese journalists have made to the cause of national liberation in the past and the country’s development today.
The statement was made in a letter he wrote which was read out at a conference honouring outstanding journalists held in Hà Nội on Saturday.
The event was held to mark the 95th anniversary of the Việt Nam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 – June 21, 2020).
Thanh Niên (Youth People) Newspaper, founded by Nguyễn Ái Quốc (later known as President Hồ Chí Minh), debuted in 1925, marking the inception of Việt Nam’s revolutionary press.
Since then, the Vietnamese press has grown under the leadership of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV) and made important contributions to the cause of national liberation in the past as well as national building and safeguarding today, the PM said in his letter.
Over the past century, the press has reflected various aspects of the country’s social, economic and political life, and popularised good social values and good deeds as well as successful models and outstanding people, and promoted Việt Nam as a friendly, peaceful destination globally.
The PM stressed the role of journalists in protecting the nation’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity; and fighting corruption, wastefulness, wrongdoings, social evils and moral deterioration.
The leader urged journalists nationwide to further improve their professionalism and uphold their ethics and core values to continue pursuing the glorious mission of the revolutionary press.
He said he highly appreciated journalists' contributions and congratulated seven senior journalists and nearly 200 outstanding reporters honoured at the conference, out of the country's 40,000 people working in journalism.
Politburo member Trần Quốc Vượng, Chairman of Việt Nam Fatherland Front Trần Thanh Mẫn, Vice President Trần Ngọc Thịnh and Deputy Prime Minister Vũ Đức Đam all attended the conference./.

With a booming economy and a young population, Vietnam has seen a fast penetration of the Internet into daily life.
To carry out media activities within the territory of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; to carry out media activities overseas in accordance with regulations of the Government.
Journalists must report truthfully domestic and world current affairs in conformity with the interests of the country and its citizens; to report the opinions and the legitimate aspirations of citizens; to contribute to the exercise of freedom of the media and the right of freedom of speech of citizens through the media.
Our country is entering a new period of development with a new position and strength, facing both opportunities and challenges. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the mission of the press is cumbersome but also very glorious.
I wish that the VJA and its members nationwide continue to develop, promote their revolutionary tradition and incessantly foster their ideals, political and professional skills and especially the professional ethics of its members.
Press officers are also revolutionary soldiers. Their pens and papers are their sharp weapons”, and continue to renovate their content and mode of operation, to be truly reliable in their professional activities as journalists.
With affection and confidence, I wish all members of the VJA and journalists across the country good health, joy, happiness, continuous innovation, creativity, always deserving as pioneers on the ideological and cultural front of the Party.
Reporters should undertake regular study and training to improve their political standards and their ethical and professional media standards; not to abuse their position as journalists to cause trouble or to breach the law.
Don't like those so-called reporters that just want to disorder the country!
The press has to be responsible before the law and before the head of their media organizations for the material in their media releases and for actions which breach the laws on media.
