This is the top priority and task for the association and journalists in Hai Duong province.
The Provincial Party Secretary emphasized that every journalist must truly be a revolutionary fighter.

Information in the press must be accurate, highly timely, wholesome, practical, combative, and capable of guiding public opinion; it must frankly combat and refute false narratives, especially in cyberspace; and it must make a positive contribution to the fight against corruption, waste, bureaucracy, and other negative manifestations.
