The Deputy Prime Minister explained that "A pure heart" is to serve the Fatherland and the people selflessly. "A bright mind" is to correctly identify the nature of things, not to be swept away by false and harmful information. "A sharp pen" is to protect the truth, protect justice, fight uncompromisingly against negativity, corruption, waste and contribute to building a society that respects the law.
The Deputy Prime Minister also expressed his hope that young journalists will become pioneers on the digital transformation front.
"You are a generation born and raised with technology. Take advantage of that to master digital platforms, develop multimedia journalism, and bring information to the public in the fastest and most attractive way," said the Deputy Prime Minister.
Along with that, young journalists should be pioneers in the fight against fake news and toxic news, contributing to cleaning up cyberspace and building a civilized and safe digital society.
Emphasizing that journalism is a profession that requires lifelong learning, the Deputy Prime Minister hopes that young journalists will always cultivate knowledge about politics , economics, culture, society, and law; and practice professional skills to be able to work in an international environment.
Courage and professionalism will help you stand firm against all temptations and pressures, so that your writing can always remain fair, objective and responsible, the Deputy Prime Minister shared.
Regarding the 50 young journalists honored today, including 3 young female reporters of the Government Portal, the Deputy Prime Minister said that these are all outstanding individuals in professional work, journalism and communication of agencies and units under the Government Youth Union; they are excellent representatives of a new generation of journalists who are dynamic, creative, enthusiastic and responsible to the country.
This honor is a well-deserved recognition of your tireless efforts, but also comes with greater responsibility.
The Deputy Prime Minister expressed his belief that from today's "launch pad", young journalists will continue to fly high and far, becoming great journalists and leading writers, contributing worthily to the cause of building an increasingly professional, humane and modern Vietnamese revolutionary press, effectively serving the cause of building and defending the Fatherland in the "era of rising up" to develop richly and powerfully.
Historical mission of journalism
Looking back at the 100-year journey of the Vietnamese revolutionary press founded by the great leader Nguyen Ai Quoc - President Ho Chi Minh, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the Vietnamese revolutionary press carries within it the historical mission of being a torch to light the way, a sharp ideological weapon, gathering and encouraging the people in the struggle for national independence.
Over 100 years of accompanying the country, generations of journalists and soldiers have always been present in the places at the forefront, from the Viet Bac resistance base to the Dien Bien Phu battlefield, from the legendary Truong Son route to constructions and factories during the Doi Moi process.
Their pens not only record history, but also contribute to creating history, lighting the fire of patriotism, the desire for peace and the spirit of innovation and creativity. The press has truly been a trustworthy bridge between the Party, the State and the people, making an important contribution to building and consolidating the great national unity bloc.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, in the new era - the era of deep international integration, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and great aspirations for a strong and prosperous Vietnam by 2045, journalists, especially young journalists, are facing both opportunities and challenges.
More than ever, the Government and the people need from the press a stream of accurate, timely and oriented mainstream information; sharp and in-depth articles that not only reflect reality but also actively participate in the policy planning and implementation process, contributing to removing "bottlenecks", promoting institutional reform, improving the investment and business environment; humane works that spread positive energy, multiply the good values of the Vietnamese people, promote the image of a beautiful, dynamic, innovative Vietnam and a reliable destination for international friends, the Deputy Prime Minister shared.
