The PM highlighted that over the past 93 years, under the leadership of the
Communist Party of Vietnam, the Vietnam revolutionary press has been a major
force playing an important role in the field of ideology and culture.
The sector has achieved great progress over the past years and made significant
contributions to the revolutionary cause of the Party as well as the national
construction and defence, he said.
The Government leader praised the press sector for reporting on the domestic and
world situation in a full and timely manner, covering all aspects of life and
society and discovering new factors and effective models in various fields.
The media has honoured good examples and countered wrongful arguments and
distorted information, contributing to fighting corruption, wastefulness,
protecting the national sovereignty, promoting external relations, and combating
degradation in morality and lifestyle, thus strengthening social consensus,
noted the PM.
Accompanying the cause of renewal and national development, the Vietnam
revolutionary press has developed diverse media forms, including printed
newspaper, radio, television, e-paper, and multimedia, he said.
With a strong force of nearly 850 media agencies and more than 18,000 reporters
having press cards, and a Vietnam Journalists’ Association with more than 22,000
members, the Vietnam revolutionary press has been a vanguard force on the
ideology battlefield.
Many journalists have set bright examples in devoting their life for the
national construction and defence.
“We are deeply moved by the many journalists who died or get injured while
performing their job in peaceful time, most recently Dinh Huu Du from the
Vietnam News Agency who died when covering flood and storm situation in Yen Bai,”
stated the PM.
He also expressed hope that media agencies will show better performance in
implementing their tasks of communications assigned by the Party, State and
people.
PM Phuc stressed that the current domestic and world situation requires
journalists to continue renovating and exerting more efforts in order to keep
their role and position in guiding public opinion and contributing more to the
national construction and defence in the new period.
In the context of deeper international integration of the country and strong
development of the information and communication technology, media staff should
quickly get access to new communications technology and methods.
“The press, in any forms, should be sharp-witted and keep updated on new
technology,” he added.
