The quality of information in the press is constantly improving, reflecting comprehensively, truthfully, and from multiple perspectives, meeting the diverse needs of the people. Local newspapers, especially online newspapers, are gradually becoming the main source of official information for websites and social media of agencies, units, and organizations in the province. In particular, local press agencies have maintained and effectively promoted sections dedicated to protecting the Party's ideological foundation and combating false and hostile viewpoints in the new situation.
Actively and proactively combating and refuting the distorted views, arguments, and " peaceful evolution" schemes of hostile forces in cyberspace. The permanent offices, bureaus, and teams of central, provincial, and city-level reporters stationed in the area have closely followed local developments, quickly grasping information and reflecting on political events, major holidays, and socio-economic, defense and security, and Party building activities, promptly addressing issues of public concern in the area.

Besides the achievements, the press work in 2023 still had some limitations such as: the dissemination of the Party's policies and guidelines lacked depth in some aspects and content; the number of articles with critical analysis, forecasting, constructive contributions, and those addressing corruption and negative practices, reflecting "hot" issues in society, although increased compared to before, was still not significant; the material facilities serving the activities of local press agencies were still limited; some agencies, units, and localities did not adequately fulfill their responsibilities in speaking to and providing information to the press...
The conference also devoted significant time to delegates exchanging and sharing experiences to improve the effectiveness of information and communication work; solutions for building multimedia and multi-platform journalism in line with modern journalistic trends; the necessity of strengthening coordination between media agencies and localities, departments, and sectors to help guide public opinion on sensitive issues arising in the area, thereby conveying timely, complete, and accurate information about the socio-economic development tasks of the locality. At the same time, it analyzed and identified trends and challenges in current journalistic activities to determine key tasks and solutions for 2024.

Delivering a keynote address at the conference, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Nguyen Dang Quang, emphasized: 2024 is a year of significant importance, a year of acceleration to achieve the goals of the Resolution of the 17th Provincial Party Congress and the 2021-2025 five-year plan. It is also a year to prepare and develop a plan to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press Day on June 21st (1925-2025), aiming to recall the glorious tradition, the important and great contributions, and the noble mission of the Vietnamese revolutionary press in general and the press in Quang Tri province in particular.
Therefore, in the coming period, it is suggested that the provincial press management agencies strengthen their management of journalistic activities in accordance with the directives of the Central Government and the province; pay attention to training and professional development to improve the political theory and professional skills of journalists; and regularly exchange information, provide support, and encourage press agencies and journalists to become more mature, fulfilling their important roles and functions in leading and guiding public opinion, creating social consensus, and thereby building a professional, humane, and modern press and media system associated with digital transformation in journalism, contributing to the successful implementation of the province's important political tasks. In addition, each journalist needs to equip themselves with extensive knowledge; accept the challenge of engaging with real-life situations to create high-quality works with profound social significance.
The Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Nguyen Dang Quang, also suggested some tasks that need to be prepared in 2024 to best organize the activities commemorating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam's Revolutionary Press Day in 2025.
At the same time, we hope that media agencies will continue to work together with the province to promote comprehensive and effective dissemination of information on all aspects of social life so that provincial leaders can promptly grasp and direct the handling of issues to meet the demands and aspirations of the people. Simultaneously, we hope to spread to all citizens the message of self-reliance and resilience in overcoming difficulties to develop socio-economic conditions and build a prosperous and happy life.
