Friend of a reputable person

For Mr. Vi Nhu Thiet (71 years old), elected as a respected figure in Dong Ghe village, Quan Son commune, Chi Lang district for nearly 20 years, the printed newspaper of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station is an indispensable source of "spiritual nourishment." Mr. Thiet shared: "Every day, I still update myself on current events through television and radio, however, to understand more thoroughly and deeply about new policies and guidelines, especially information from our province, the main source of information is still the printed newspaper of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station. I, as well as the team of respected figures in the commune, consider the newspaper as a 'guidebook' to effectively carry out our duties. In it, I have read many articles about exemplary respected figures in other districts sharing their experiences in mediation work, effective methods of propaganda and mobilization of people, which I apply myself; new policies, and promising economic models to disseminate to the people in the village..."

- To enable reputable individuals to perform their duties effectively, one of the important policies that has been seriously and effectively implemented by all levels and sectors in the province is the distribution of newspapers and magazines, including printed publications from Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station, to this group. The newspapers serve as a "guidebook," helping them update accurate and timely information for dissemination to the people.

Mr. Lam Thanh Hien, a respected figure in the Cua Dong area, Chi Lang ward, Lang Son city, reads the printed edition of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio & Television Station dated June 6, 2025.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong, 68 years old, a respected figure in Block 10, Cao Loc town, Cao Loc district, said: "Every week, from Monday to Friday, the printed newspapers of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station are delivered to my house by post on the same day. I find the newspaper's presentation increasingly innovative and creative, with rich content, catchy headlines, and attractive articles that draw readers in. For example, the May 29, 2025 issue features an article titled 'The nagging worry of drowning,' highlighting the reality and warning about drowning incidents among children during the summer holidays, and offering specific measures and recommendations for parents to manage their children and prevent tragic drowning accidents." New policies and initiatives, exemplary individuals in production, business, social activities, and those who have strived to overcome difficulties in life, as published in newspapers, are the most vivid and practical examples that help make my propaganda and mobilization efforts among the people more effective.

According to our research, the province currently has over 1,600 influential individuals in villages and neighborhoods. These include 349 retired officials, 26 village elders and clan leaders; 200 Party branch secretaries, village heads, and neighborhood leaders; and 13 heads of Fatherland Front committees…

Mr. Lang Van Hien, Head of the Policy Department of the Provincial Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions, said: In recent years, all levels, sectors, and functional units in the province have paid attention to implementing policies for influential individuals so that they can effectively fulfill their roles and responsibilities in residential areas, including distributing the Ethnic Minorities and Development Magazine (the official publication of the Ministry of Ethnic Minorities and Religions ) and printed newspapers of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station. In the last three months, the entire province has distributed over 80,000 printed newspapers of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station; and more than 8,000 copies of the Ethnic Minorities and Development Magazine to influential individuals.

"For magazines, post offices deliver one issue per month, while printed newspapers from the Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station are delivered daily to reputable individuals, depending on traffic and weather conditions in each area," informed Mr. Trieu Van Sy, Head of the Organization and Administration Department of the Provincial Post Office.

With a majority of elderly people who are less familiar with online news and social media, print magazines and newspapers in general, and the print publications of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television in particular, have helped the team of influential people in the area to stay up-to-date on current events in the province, as well as national and international news; policies, new models, and best practices. They consider these as a guide to effectively carry out propaganda work, mobilize the people, and participate in resolving issues arising at the grassroots level.

For example, from the beginning of 2025 to the present, influential individuals throughout the province have mobilized residents in their communities to contribute tens of thousands of man-days of labor to help demolish temporary and dilapidated houses; encouraged the donation of over 3,000 square meters of land for the construction of new rural areas; successfully mediated nearly 100 community conflicts; and provided approximately 200 valuable pieces of information on security and order to law enforcement agencies… Through these efforts, they have contributed to building a more prosperous, beautiful, and civilized homeland.
