In case the server system has problems, the Technical - Technology Department of Hai Duong Newspaper and Radio - Television Station also stores important documents and programs through external hard drives with a capacity of 2 - 10 TB/drive. Many editors, reporters, and technicians also select and store important documents and products on their personal computers and external hard drives.

In the field of paper newspapers, Hai Duong Newspaper and Radio - Television Station currently has 532 volumes storing all the publications of Hai Duong Newspaper that have been published since Hai Duong News (1957 - 1961), Hai Duong Moi Newspaper (1961 - 1968), Hai Hung Newspaper (1968 - 1996), Hai Duong Newspaper (from 1997 to present).

Exploiting old documents to serve current work

Archiving the content of spoken, visual, radio and printed press works at Hai Duong Newspaper and Radio - Television Station is not purely a mandatory task according to State regulations.

The precious film footage and archived documents are like a "giant history book" that records relatively completely the development process of the homeland and country in general, and the history of the formation and development of Hai Duong journalism through the periods in particular. Behind each film footage and each old article that is archived is the process of silent dedication, devotion, and wholeheartedness to the work of the team of journalists from the Eastern region throughout the past journey...

Journalist Hoang Minh Dung, Head of the Television Editorial Department of Hai Duong Newspaper and Radio - Television Station, highly appreciates the importance of documentary films in professional activities.

In any period, the above documents are still regularly exploited to serve professional tasks in an optimal way. In addition to using the agency's shared documents, journalist Hoang Minh Dung, Head of the Television Editorial Department of Hai Duong Newspaper and Radio - Television Station, also stores many television videos from decades ago on his personal computer.

According to Mr. Dung, in the field of television, storing videos is even more meaningful. Although old, black and white, and of low quality, documentary television footage is very valuable for propaganda work at present and in the future. They make the work more vivid, attractive, and accurately reflect. If a television work mentions past events but only uses graphics and commentary, it will be difficult to convince viewers.

"In 2020, we made a reportage on the Hai Duong Provincial Party Committee's 80th anniversary of glorious flags. The reportage used many images filmed half a century ago. These are truly valuable documents, helping the reportage to be more authentic and attractive," Mr. Dung gave an example.

Reporter Dang Phuong Linh often re-reads old newspapers.

For Ms. Dang Phuong Linh, a reporter from the Newspaper Reporter Department and many other colleagues, the Hai Duong Newspaper archive is like a "Hai Duong journalism history textbook". Regularly spending time re-reading old newspapers helps a young reporter like her accumulate a lot of experience in professional activities.

Whenever she has time or is preparing to register articles for special issues on holidays and Tet during the year, Ms. Linh "sets down roots" in the printed newspaper archive to read and look up information.

"Reading old articles helps me broaden my mind and gain a lot of experience in building topics. The experience of previous generations of journalists is basically reflected in each newspaper stored in this archive. We have the responsibility to promote it and make the newspaper better and better," said Ms. Linh.

Digitized documents help the professional activities of journalists.

Thanks to the videos and articles saved on the CMS of Hai Duong Electronic Newspaper, reporters of the Newspaper and Hai Duong Radio - Television Station can re-read, look up information, compare data from many previous years, effectively serving the current news production process.
