For nearly a decade working as a television editor at the Television, Newspaper and Radio and Television Department of Lang Son, Ms. Hua Thi Loan has always worked diligently behind the scenes, silently but responsibly. As the first person to receive works from reporters and collaborators, Ms. Loan always carefully checks every detail. This seemingly simple job requires alertness, meticulousness, high content assessment ability and a multi-disciplinary knowledge base. Ms. Loan shared: “Each comment, each frame must be accurate in information, consistent with political orientation and meet aesthetic requirements. Pressure is inevitable, especially when time is tight or the content is related to important political and social issues. But the more pressured I am, the more I see the responsibility and meaning of the work I am doing, to bring the audience the most complete television works”.
Like Ms. Loan, Ms. Nong Minh Thao, editor of the Print Department, Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station, has been working tirelessly and passionately on each article on each page of the newspaper. Ms. Thao confided: The job of a print editor is like a "wordsmith", having to read over and over again, editing each sentence and word, ensuring that the propaganda article is correct, accurate, and interesting, but not dry, but always close and attractive to readers. Therefore, I am always diligent, accompanying reporters so that each article conveys to readers a profound message to learn, apply in practice, and aim to build a better life.
Not only Ms. Loan and Ms. Thao, but also the editorial team of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station are always dedicated and play their role in making journalistic works more complete and of higher quality. The editors work “silently” after the articles and reports but have to face many pressures on time and quality. They are the ones who “pick out mistakes” and “guard” the quality of information.
There are many times when the editor “rescues” the team of reporters from “interrogative” questions, requests to check and clarify information, thereby, the reporters discover errors for timely correction. If such errors are allowed to slip through, it can affect the reputation of the author and the agency. If the journalistic work is the “brainchild” of the author, the editor is like a “midwife” to help the work come out smoothly, not only ensuring the correct purpose but also attracting readers. All journalistic works bear the imprint of the editorial team.
Journalist Nguyen Dong Bac, Editor-in-Chief of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station, commented: The editorial staff of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station are the “gatekeepers of information”, the “right-hand man” of the Editorial Board. Editors must refine, select, evaluate, and initially censor information before submitting journalistic works to the Editorial Board for approval. This is a complex thinking process that requires extensive knowledge, critical thinking skills, sharp information processing, and solid professional ethics. The activities of the editorial staff contribute to creating valuable journalistic works that have a positive impact on social life. Thereby affirming the professionalism of journalism, distinguishing official journalism from unofficial, unverified sources of information.
Editors are the ones who quietly walk on the sidelines of the light, but they are the ones who contribute significantly to the success of each journalistic work. For us reporters, editors are indispensable companions in each work. We are always grateful and appreciate the silent contributions of the editorial team. After each time the editor points out mistakes, gives us direction and suggestions, and improves the quality of the article, it helps us reporters to become more mature in our profession.
