Towards professionalism, modernity and humanity

According to journalist Mai Ngoc Phuoc, Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper, Vice President of Ho Chi Minh City Journalists Association, since 2014 the newspaper has researched and built a code of conduct for staff, reporters, and editors on social networking platforms. This helps manage and raise everyone's sense of responsibility, while also helping to better monitor. I think from the rules and experiences of a press agency, we can share more practical experiences to have better conventions on using social networks.

In fact, in the process of building and developing, Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper always strives to build a united, dynamic and innovative collective, improving the quality of the newspaper's content. The editorial board always identifies urgent issues to focus on solving such as: Discipline correction, professional ethics, compliance with legal regulations on journalism, timely correction of some shortcomings in the use of social networks by some journalists...
