The Vietnamese revolutionary press has left brilliant marks in its 100-year history of construction and development. With the first milestone being the Thanh Nien Newspaper's first issue on June 21, 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press was born as a historical necessity, meeting the urgent requirements of the movement to establish the Communist Party of Vietnam. This revolutionary press line, together with the nation, served the nation to win the August Revolution in 1945. On September 2, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh solemnly read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Then on September 7, 1945, the Declaration of Independence was broadcast on the Voice of Vietnam , solemnly declaring and announcing to the world that an independent Vietnam had been born.

After the success of the August Revolution, implementing President Ho Chi Minh 's instructions that "the press is a sharp weapon in the revolutionary cause of the people", "press cadres are also revolutionary soldiers; pens and paper are their sharp weapons", the press has well promoted its mission of "supporting the righteous and eliminating evil", fighting against the enemy's distorted and destructive arguments, actively serving the task of protecting the young revolutionary government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Looking back at the development process over the past 100 years, the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press has been loyal to its original goals and objectives, becoming a sharp weapon, accompanying the nation in the arduous and sacrificial struggles to overthrow the domination of French colonialism, to drive out the powerful invading armies of the Japanese, French and American empires, for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, as well as in the work of building and developing the country for the happiness of the people, creating glorious and proud pages of history.
In the process of national renewal, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has constantly affirmed its role as a pioneering force on the ideological and cultural front. Right from the early days, the press has actively promoted the spirit of innovation, encouraged creative thinking, praised new factors, new models, and spread the spirit of emulation and creative labor to all classes of people. Not only a means of communication, the press is also a bridge between the Party, the State and the people; between policies and practical life; promoting the role of leading and orienting public opinion, creating consensus in society. With an objective and multi-dimensional approach, the press has truthfully and vividly reflected social life in all regions of the country; promptly highlighted urgent issues on poverty reduction, environment, education, health care, social security, administrative reform and prevention and combat of corruption, waste and negativity; Play the role of social supervision and criticism, detect bottlenecks in management and policy implementation, make appropriate recommendations, and help the Party and State promptly adjust and perfect institutions and laws.
After 100 years of establishment and development, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has developed remarkably in all aspects, including the number of press agencies, the quality of programs and publications, and the mastery of modern media technology. The revolutionary press team is increasingly strong, steadfast in political will, good at professional expertise, exemplary in professional ethics, and fulfilling social responsibilities well...
To continue fulfilling its mission, accompanying the nation in the era of development, prosperity, civilization and prosperity, the press must closely follow the Party's viewpoints, policies and guidelines; closely follow the breath of life and the times; regularly and continuously propagate major, important and urgent matters that the entire Party and the entire political system are currently focusing on organizing and implementing, such as: The revolution in arranging and streamlining the apparatus of the political system; socio-economic development in the new era of development; breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation; international integration in the new situation; law-making and law enforcement work to meet the country's development requirements. At the same time, propagate and reflect in-depth information, ensuring objectivity, timeliness and insight on activities to prepare for party congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress. At the same time, promptly reflect the aspirations of cadres, party members and people.
Press agencies actively and resolutely carry out innovation, reorganization, and streamlining of the press agency system; continue to innovate and improve the quality, attractiveness, and persuasiveness of information and propaganda work of the press system. Each press agency operates in accordance with its principles and purposes, contributing to the protection, construction, and development of the country. Press agencies need to build a team of cadres, reporters, and editors with steadfast political will, good professional skills, clear professional ethics, imbued with the spirit of serving the country and the people, truly journalists with "sharp pen - pure heart - bright mind", leading the way on the information and propaganda front.
Every journalist today is proud of the 100-year tradition of Vietnam's revolutionary press; clearly aware of the profound instructions of General Secretary To Lam "the new era also sets new, higher requirements and tasks for the revolutionary press, requiring the press to develop accordingly, grow together with the nation, and be worthy of professional, humane, and modern journalism" which both expresses expectations and is a political command, a call for every journalist, every press agency to comprehensively innovate their thinking, methods of operation, and organizational apparatus.
