Speaking at the opening of the training course, comrade Tran Van Cong - Deputy Director of the Department affirmed: Grassroots information work plays a particularly important role in promptly and accurately conveying the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws to the people; at the same time, it is an essential information channel serving the direction and administration of local authorities. Grassroots information not only contributes to raising awareness and creating social consensus but also serves as a direct bridge between the government and the people.
However, he also frankly pointed out a number of difficulties and limitations in grassroots information activities in recent times: facilities and technical equipment are still lacking and degraded; the team of responsible officers is mainly part-time and has not received specialized training; the provision and updating of content on the commune-level electronic information page has not been ensured regularly; many officers have not mastered the skills of editing, producing news, articles and operating the radio system using information technology - telecommunications. In the context of digital transformation and the strong development of new media platforms, grassroots information work requires the team of officers to be fully equipped with knowledge, skills and modern professional methods.
