According to Mr. Nguyen Trong Nghia, the rapid development of technology is strongly changing all areas of life, posing opportunities and challenges for the Vietnamese revolutionary press. Our Party and State are vigorously implementing the arrangement and streamlining of the apparatus of agencies, units, and localities, including the press system, with the goal of improving efficiency, effectiveness, and efficiency, meeting the requirements of the practical situation, that is: Streamlining - to be stronger. Merging - to be more elite. Innovation - to maintain the mission of serving the people and accompanying the country.
"In order for revolutionary journalism to fulfill its responsibilities to the Fatherland and the people, each press agency and journalist must always consciously study and improve their professional knowledge; maintain and promote political mettle, and be determined to innovate more strongly; increase the application of technology, especially digital transformation and artificial intelligence to change the process of production, distribution and access to press information. We must take innovation as the driving force and technology as a tool to elevate Vietnamese journalism.
Moreover, it is necessary to boldly innovate from within - innovate the thinking of press leadership, innovate the editorial model, innovate the method of content production and distribution, innovate the relationship between the press and the public. The press needs to deepen its role of social criticism, protect the Party's ideological foundation, promote solidarity, create consensus, strongly arouse patriotism, national pride, inspire and aspire to contribute, contributing to bringing the country firmly into a new era, an era of prosperity, civilization, prosperity, and national development" - Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission Nguyen Trong Nghia emphasized.
