KEEP THE FLAME ALIVE IN TIMES OF HARDSHIP
From the early days after liberation, when the country was still facing many difficulties, the Ap Bac Newspaper also had to strive to overcome all obstacles. Infrastructure, personnel, finances, machinery, and equipment were scarce, but the journalists still worked with great enthusiasm. They believed that: Every newspaper distributed, even to just one commune or hamlet, was a voice of the Party reaching far and wide to the people.

No one can forget the image of journalists venturing into remote villages and hamlets to document everyday life, rolling up their trousers to wade through flooded rice paddies, waiting for ferries to cross rivers, and riding rickety motorbikes through rain and wind to deliver timely news. Whether it was floods, epidemics, storms, or political events, they were always there.
Back then, Party journalists not only had to write well, but also had to live authentically. They ate meals with the people, slept under thatched roofs with the poor, and accompanied grassroots officials to understand their worries and joys. It was this ordinary yet meaningful life that nurtured an undying passion for their profession.
MAINTAIN FAITH AMIDST CHANGE
Since our country underwent a dramatic transformation, the press is no longer alone on the information and propaganda front. With the development of social media and the proliferation of information, Party journalists remain steadfast in maintaining a "passionate heart" and a "cool head." They understand that, although methods of expression may change, truth and reality remain core values that cannot be swept away.
At Ấp Bắc Newspaper, investigative and critical articles, feature stories rich in humanistic values, and timely news reports—all are imbued with the heart of a revolutionary journalist. Without chasing sensationalism or ignoring right and wrong, the newspaper maintains the trust of its readers precisely because of these qualities.
KEEP THE FLAME ALIVE IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Today, the generation of journalists at Ap Bac Newspaper is constantly striving to adapt to the new era, to the development of technology and digital transformation. They are learning multimedia journalism, how to create videos , write news articles, and post them online…
But their passion for the profession remains unchanged: Writing for the people, for the Party, for their homeland. They are not afraid to travel far, not afraid to confront challenges, and certainly not afraid to speak the truth – because they understand that Party journalists are not just storytellers and news reporters, but also inspirers, igniting faith and multiplying acts of kindness.
THE FLAME PASSES ON THROUGH GENERATIONS AND BURNS FOREVER
There are flames that never die out, because they are passed down from generation to generation. These flames are faith in the revolutionary path, absolute loyalty to the Party, and love for the homeland and people of Tien Giang – a generous, steadfast land rich in revolutionary traditions.
They are not only tireless journalists, but also writers who sow seeds of wisdom among the people, contributing to the creation of a progressive, humane, and culturally rich society. In every smile of the people when they see their names mentioned as examples, in every tear shed after an article about a difficult life helped by the community – is the light of the Party's journalistic profession.
