Get involved in the event

Reporters are often compared to the “soul of the editorial office”, in the hustle and bustle of events, to have journalistic works that ensure timeliness and orient public opinion, people at the front line of information must commit and immerse themselves in it. Next, each person struggles with each page of the manuscript to have vivid articles that respect the truth and respect the readers. Working in Lai Chau , journalists also have to overcome the specific difficulties of the mountainous province, the border of the Fatherland.

Only with flour can we make glue.
Looking back to 2004, the early days of the separation and establishment of Lai Chau Newspaper, there were no more reporters than the fingers on one hand. Some came to try out at the Reporter Department, but the lack of facilities and the hardships of working in the highlands made many people hesitate.
“Fire tests gold, hardship tests strength” - reporters who do not mind the sun and wind of the border to get hardships and touching stories about love of land and people; the strength of the political system and the aspiration to rise up along with the strong transformation of the countryside “on the edge of the Northwest sky” have decided to stick with the Lai Chau Newspaper Reporter Department. Up to now, the department has nearly 20 reporters. Each person is like an inseparable piece of the collective, joining hands to build a bridge between the Party's will and the people's hearts.
Imbued with Uncle Ho's teaching "Cadres are the root of all work", to have a team of reporters who are both "red" and "specialized", improving professional expertise and political theory is always emphasized. The Editorial Board's staff office sent many batches of reporters to study and improve their professional skills. Up to now, 100% of reporters have a university degree or higher. Regarding political theory, 1 comrade has a senior degree, 3 comrades have an intermediate level of theory. Along with that, the work of developing the Party is also given special attention. Having matured in the practical work and movement activities of the agency, 7 excellent reporters have been considered, trained and admitted to the Party by the Party Cell. The Party Cell of the Reporters' Department with many young, pioneering and exemplary Party members has created a new vitality and strengthened the fighting strength of the Lai Chau Newspaper Party Cell in carrying out assigned political tasks. President Ho Chi Minh 's lessons on revolutionary journalism are also considered by each reporter of Lai Chau Newspaper as a "compass" and valuable baggage in the process of working.

Since the separation and re-establishment of Lai Chau Newspaper, the team of reporters has not been afraid of difficulties, closely following vivid reality, creating thousands of journalistic works. Promoting the core role in serving readers in each issue of Lai Chau Newspaper, Lai Chau Weekend Newspaper, Lai Chau Newspaper for ethnic minorities in the highlands and Lai Chau Electronic Newspaper.

Where reporters are passionate about their profession
In recent years, as infrastructure has been gradually invested in synchronously, operations with the support of digital equipment have helped reduce the hardships of highland reporters' work trips. However, the luggage returning from each work trip still has many memories of the hardships and difficulties in the journey of work.
Despite the difficulties, after completing the work, everyone feels extremely happy when completing the article and seeing the eyes of readers shining with faith when reading each new page of the newspaper that still smells of ink. To overcome those difficulties to access information, to concretize it into journalistic works that ensure timeliness and bring the breath of life, reporters need to have courage, will, determination, responsibility for the job, always uphold professional ethics, social awareness... The combination of these factors has created a flavor of life that is likened to a catalyst, a driving force that helps journalists love their job more. This is affirmed by "veteran" journalists such as: Ha Kim Chi, Khoang Van Thanh - former Editor-in-Chief of Lai Chau Newspaper..., only when reporters are "passionate about their profession" will they feel sublimated in their work when they have a journalism career.
Indeed, if they were not passionate about their work, how could reporters go on a mission for a whole month, staying at the base without returning home or to the office? Or in the middle of the rainy season, when the risk of landslides is high, a group of female reporters from Lai Chau Newspaper are willing to go to all border communes and border posts to write reports on the relationship between the army and the people at the border. And then, despite the lurking dangers, they write investigative reports on natural disasters, deforestation, illegal mining and other reprehensible acts covered up by perfect covers...
Passionate and dedicated to their profession, when our province launched a campaign to plant rubber trees, Lai Chau Newspaper reporters were ready to volunteer to join the campaign. All day long they dug holes to plant trees, built contour lines and transported agricultural materials to the rubber hills. But when night fell, the journalists pondered over each word to ensure timely articles were sent to the editorial office, promptly reporting on the progress of rubber planting.
There are many events that require the efforts of reporters, for example, during the process of the whole province making great efforts to implement the relocation and resettlement of hydroelectric plants. To help readers and people, especially those resettled in the reservoirs of hydroelectric plants, understand the policies and promptly commend the pioneering localities and families who moved to new places for the future electricity of the Fatherland, reporters of Lai Chau Newspaper had to work as shuttles between the base and the editorial office because at that time, digital equipment to support their work was limited.
Technology 4.0 opens a new era, requiring that in order to improve the effectiveness of propaganda work, each reporter and journalist must invest in and effectively use technological equipment during their work. If they do not want to fall behind, reporters must not only be present at the forefront of information, but also be pioneers in technology. Immersed in practice and possessing the skills to use digital equipment, Lai Chau Newspaper reporters have quickly caught up with multimedia communication. Many works have been loved by readers and won awards in many local and national journalism competitions.
For reporters in the highlands, every step is a difficult one. To blend in with the flow of events, in addition to knowledge and professional ethics, one must also have a high sense of responsibility for the chosen job.
