- In high schools, media clubs with activities of producing school newsletters, propaganda videos and radio programs... made by students themselves, are gradually becoming "incubators" to nurture the passion for journalism for the young generation of Lang Son.
One morning in mid-May, despite being in the process of reviewing for the high school graduation exam, Be Thu Giang, a 12A2 student at Dinh Lap High School, Dinh Lap District, and members of the School Media Club still produced a newsletter to guide candidates in preparing for the 10th grade entrance exam. The product was posted on the school's official fanpage and widely shared through the class's zalo groups and the school's electronic information portal. Thu Giang shared: Since joining the Club, I have learned how to write news, take photos, edit videos... and have become more and more interested in journalism. This year, I have registered for admission to the Journalism major at the Institute of Journalism and Communication, University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
Ms. Vi Thi Khuyen, Secretary of the School Youth Union and Head of the Media Club, said: The club was established in 2021 and is currently one of the models that attracts the most students to participate in the school. Every year, the school organizes surveys and orientations for students to choose a club that suits their interests and abilities. Many students register to join the Media Club from grade 10 or after being inspired by the exciting activities of their seniors. In the 2024-2025 school year alone, the club has recruited more than 30 new members, bringing the total number of members to about 60 students, becoming the core force in the school's media activities.
Not only Dinh Lap High School, up to now, 100% of high schools, vocational education - continuing education centers and ethnic boarding secondary and high schools in the province (44/44 units) have established school media clubs. Each club has from 30 to more than 100 members, depending on the actual conditions of each school, organized into specialized groups such as: writing news articles, filming and editing videos, taking photos, designing infographics, hosting programs... Their products are broadcast on the school loudspeaker system, YouTube pages, the school's official Facebook fanpage, online newsletters and some are also shared on the fanpage of the district-level or provincial youth union...
In addition to reporting on school events, club members also proactively produce legal propaganda content, career orientation columns, soft skills seminars, etc. The entire process from generating ideas, assigning tasks to staging products is undertaken by students, under the guidance of club homeroom teachers or union officers. Thereby, creating a practical learning environment, stimulating creativity and developing comprehensive skills for students.
Many schools have developed creative media club models to professionalize career experiences for students. For example, Chu Van An High School for the Gifted regularly publishes the newsletter “Chu Van An News” on the school’s official YouTube and Facebook; the Provincial Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities regularly organizes the talkshow “Students as MCs”, career orientation seminars, and exchanges with young journalists, etc.; Bac Son High School maintains the production of an online newsletter, publishing two issues per week, where students can share their perspectives on the school environment.
Many high schools in the districts also cooperate with the local Center for Culture, Sports and Communications to organize the program "A day as a reporter" for students, thereby helping them understand the process of publishing a journalistic work, learn how to write news, record videos on the scene, and interact with reporters and professional media workers. Teachers in charge of the media club also proactively update their knowledge and guide students in diversifying content on social networks. Many students also proactively learn from YouTube, local press fanpages, social networks and try to collaborate with the grassroots youth union to write articles for local news sites or create vlogs and short videos about school life.
These activities are not only a playground for practicing skills, but also help students develop critical thinking, improve teamwork skills, and master digital technology... - essential skills that help them confidently choose suitable careers and adapt to the demands of modern society.
Ms. Le Thuy Dung, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union, affirmed: School media clubs have been effective in creating an environment for creative experiences, fostering skills and career orientation for students. In the upcoming 10th grade entrance exam and high school graduation, this force will continue to actively participate in propaganda work at the grassroots level. In the coming time, the Provincial Youth Union will continue to promote the Creative Youth movement to promote the role of media clubs in building and designing content for union activities and propaganda work in schools, contributing to spreading the beautiful image of youth.
According to statistics from some school unions, more than 80% of 12th graders who have participated in the school media club have clearly determined their future career. On average, 8 out of 10 students register for university entrance exams in majors such as journalism, communications, digital content, event organization, etc. These are all fields where students have practiced their skills, aroused their passion and equipped them with journalism skills, helping them to form their character, nurture their aspirations and gradually take steady steps on their chosen career path.
