According to Tran Cam Tu, Standing member of the Secretariat, on June 21, 1925, in Guangzhou, China, President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien Newspaper - the mouthpiece of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association, the first newspaper of the Vietnamese revolution. This was not only a milestone marking its birth but also the beginning of the glorious journey of the Vietnamese revolutionary press over the past 100 years.
The Standing Secretariat outlined the process of establishment and the role of the Revolutionary Press in contributing to the success of the August 1945 General Uprising, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam; the role of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press in the resistance war against French colonialism and American imperialism as well as the period of national renewal.
"Over 100 years of construction and development, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has made strong strides in terms of quantity, quality, programs, and publication content, and has initially mastered modern communication technology.
Many press agencies have developed into multimedia press agencies on par with the region and the world. The team of journalists is increasingly strong, politically steadfast, professionally skilled, exemplary in professional ethics and performing well in social responsibilities," Mr. Tran Cam Tu emphasized.
To continue fulfilling their mission, accompanying the nation in the era of development, prosperity, civilization and prosperity, press agencies nationwide need to fully and more deeply grasp the principle: The Party's absolute and comprehensive leadership over press activities to meet the needs of the cause of innovation, construction and development of the country.
In his opening speech at the Workshop, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thang - Politburo member, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, affirmed the great contributions of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation; founded by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh.
The Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council emphasized the need to honor, express gratitude and encourage journalists to continue promoting their glorious tradition, worthy of being pioneers on the ideological, information and cultural front.
On the journey to carry out their noble duty, hundreds of journalists have heroically fallen on fierce battlefields in the cause of fighting for national liberation, national reunification and protection of the fatherland.
During the most difficult years of the war, under the slogan that every journalist is a soldier on the ideological and cultural front, journalists held both pens and guns and devoted themselves to the front lines, becoming a bridge between the battlefield and the rear, between truth and justice.
Continuing that glorious tradition, today the team of journalists continues to affirm their pioneering role in the fight against corruption, waste and negativity. Regardless of danger, many journalists and press agencies have devoted themselves to investigating and persistently pursuing to the end to expose wrongdoings, contributing to cleaning up the apparatus, protecting justice, maintaining discipline, and strengthening the people's trust in the Party and the State.
According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thang, these are living proofs of the bravery, self-sacrificing responsibility and loyalty to revolutionary ideas of soldiers on the information front in the new era of development.
