Emphasizing the context of the world changing strongly under the impact of digital technology , artificial intelligence and globalization, journalist Le Quoc Minh said that Vietnamese press is facing unprecedented challenges, while opening up great opportunities if it knows how to proactively adapt and innovate. In particular, the rise of social media videos and news based on individuals is a huge challenge, directly affecting mainstream press agencies.

However, the new era also brings many opportunities for the press to assert its leading role. In particular, the most necessary good thing right now in the context of AI prevailing and creating a huge amount of content, in order to preserve its existence and sustainable development, the only solution is that the press needs to focus on content quality and core values, the press must redefine its mission, not to report the news the fastest, but to bring the most profound and trustworthy values.

“Those concerns are also the main topics of discussion at this year’s National Press Forum. This is not only an intellectual space and dialogue for journalists across the country, but also a place to open up ways for the Vietnamese press to innovate and create in the spirit of Resolution 57 and Resolution 18, towards a truly professional, modern and humane press in the era of national development,” emphasized journalist Le Quoc Minh.
