Culture and arts reporters still perform all journalistic duties, from going to the field, collecting information, interviewing, verifying to writing, editing and publishing. They not only report on events such as award ceremonies, exhibitions, performances... but also write in-depth articles, analyze works, reflect on cultural life or criticize deviant phenomena in the art environment. The job requires sensitivity, aesthetic sense, deep knowledge and professional ethics - all of which are core elements of a true journalist.
Mr. Tran Hoang Phuc, a contributor specializing in writing the Arts and Culture section of Ca Mau Newspaper (now Ca Mau Radio and Television Newspaper and Station), specializes in writing articles about artists, especially cai luong artists, creating a widespread impact with readers. According to him, the Arts and Culture section is unique, the writer's approach is also more subtle, because artists are very emotional but also quite sensitive, they must be trusted and loved for them to be willing to share.
“The happiest thing for a culture and arts reporter is to listen to the “unique” stories in the professional life of artists. Everyone sees me as a friend to open up, reveal their secret corners, and share their concerns about art and life. The difficulty for writers in this field is to listen, empathize, then collect emotions from the story content to express words and writing style so that it is close and relevant to the information conveyed by the artist, thereby bringing the message they want to the public,” Hoang Phuc shared.

Amidst the digital age, the need for entertainment information is growing strongly, causing the arts and culture sector to sometimes be "commercialized" and follow the trend. Therefore, the role of arts and culture reporters is even more important. They are not only news reporters, but also aesthetic orientators, raising cultural awareness and contributing to building national identity in the context of integration. An in-depth film review, a sharp cultural perspective on the lives of young people, or an article reflecting on the phenomenon of deviation in showbiz... are all proofs of the true journalistic value of this sector.
Ms. To Nguyet Trang, editor of the Arts and Entertainment Department, Ca Mau Newspaper and Radio and Television Station, said: “Reporters and editors working on arts and culture are an indispensable part of the press. They are the ones who tell stories about the beauty, the good, as well as reflect the bad of people's spiritual life. If political reporters reflect the movements of the country, arts and culture reporters preserve soft values - the foundation of national identity. An arts and culture program is also the brainpower of reporters and editors when collecting, synthesizing, and filtering information, then from their perspective, forming a program script with a clear, attractive theme, creating attraction for the audience watching through radio waves and television screens."
Sharing the same view, Mr. Tran Hoang Phuc said: “In the context of globalization and strong cultural exchange, the arts and culture press also plays a role in preserving and promoting national identity. Arts and culture reporters are the ones who connect artists and the public, heritage and the younger generation, the past and the present. They are not only recorders but also storytellers, inspiring and nurturing national pride through each article and column.”
Similar to reporters and editors in charge of the arts and culture section, in the context of modern media, MCs of radio and television programs are increasingly appearing on air, taking on the role of leading diverse programs, from news, entertainment to talk shows and game shows. They are journalists who convey emotions to viewers and listeners through news and articles. Even today, in the trend of multimedia journalism, MCs who host news programs, news bulletins, reports or discussion topics on mainstream television channels also take on the role of television editors and MCs. They not only host the program but also directly participate in building content, writing scripts, interviewing guests, processing information, and sometimes even making reports or short news.
Hosts not only learn how to present accurately and attractively, but also have to be neat in appearance.
MC Lieu Tran Bao Duy, Ca Mau Newspaper and Radio and Television Station, said: "No matter what type of TV program the host hosts, the task of the host is to create connections between the content parts of the program. We have to lead viewers to each content in a clear, easy-to-understand way and attract them to stay and watch until the end of the news or program."
According to MC Bao Duy, every day, the skills of an MC are required to be higher, because in a news program there are many small parts such as: news, reports, interviews, or reporting parts by field reporters... Therefore, the task of leading and connecting the program is very important to keep the rhythm at the right time and push the climax to the right place. To do this task well, the MC must make the audience see the specific news and articles clearly and have a connection in the coherent whole of the entire program. "Not to mention, we have to be meticulous in the appearance, from costumes to makeup..., creating respect for the audience watching in front of the TV screen, phone or laptop...", he shared.
Besides reporting and conveying information in their own way, sometimes these "special" journalists also transform themselves in a variety of ways in contributing information. They transform themselves into actors, becoming characters in radio and television stories... In the past, audiences were familiar with Mr. Tran Hoang Phuc transforming into characters in the skits "Bac Ba Phi" on radio and television, or MC Lieu Tran Bao Duy transforming into a variety of characters in artistic scripts on radio... All of them create a professional identity, but the core value is still conveying information through the arts and culture.
The responsible, serious and dedicated working spirit of these "special" journalists shows that any work for journalism is valuable and worthy of respect!
