During that journey, the Newspaper always had the companionship, sharing and following of the Editors-in-Chief through the periods, they always placed their trust and expectations on the team of journalists in the province.
Comrade Nguyen The Ky - former member of the Party Central Committee, Vice Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, former General Director of Voice of Vietnam , former Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper:
The fourth industrial revolution is extremely powerful, vibrant, and widespread, posing opportunities but also many challenges, when we are currently living in a digital society and digital media. Nghe An Newspaper or the press in general must strive to master technology. Fortunately, for many years now, Nghe An Newspaper has built a converged editorial office, applied new technology to build a new press agency. Nghe An Newspaper's publications, especially on the electronic newspaper baonghean.vn , have many integrated forms including radio and television, meeting the needs of readers. In the stormy development of digital transformation, Nghe An Newspaper has made truly remarkable changes, changing both quality and quantity from form to content.
At this point, the Provincial Newspaper and Radio and Television Station will merge into one unit, thus increasing resources significantly. However, to be able to transform digitally more strongly, we need to remember the following:
Nowadays, when talking about digital journalism and digital transformation, we have to talk about big data, and in big data, we have to talk about artificial intelligence, creative journalism, solution journalism, etc. We must not only grasp these terms, but also implement them well. To do so, any reporter must work seriously and always improve themselves, because nowadays, artificial intelligence reports very quickly, but it only speaks "one voice", while human intelligence can make a difference.
Because artificial intelligence is a powerful tool for humans, many press corporations are laying off many employees today. Therefore, reporters must improve their writing style. Currently, I see many shortcomings in the way reporters write, that is, there is still a situation of writing long, while today readers need to read short, concise articles that compress information. People only read long articles when they are very good articles, articles that really touch social life. Therefore, the press products produced must be attractive, useful and attract many people. A good article but few people read it is not good, but on the contrary, there are articles with sensational headlines that lack ideological orientation and lack humanity, which must also be reviewed. Therefore, towards the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, we must promote humanity, orientation, modernity and must have a professional way of thinking in journalism.
As a son of Nghe An, a former reporter for Nghe An Radio and Television Station and growing up from the Station to Nghe An Newspaper, I think that the thing I am most passionate about is always being diligent in learning, learning non-stop. Reporters, editors, technicians must study by themselves, not be satisfied with their studies, must demand of themselves and surpass themselves. Creative journalism requires people to be extremely serious, reporters must be both red-blooded and professional, always open-minded, and cultivate professional ethics. At the same time, reporters must choose for themselves a truly specialized field. Our ancestors said: "One profession for nine is better than ninety professions", journalism in the new era requires specialization and professionalism. This will create a strong collective, helping the provincial press agency develop.
Comrade Nguyen Thanh Tien - former Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper, former Chairman of Nghe An Journalists Association:
As a regular reader of Nghe An Newspaper, including both print and online newspapers, I am very happy and proud that today there is an elite team that continues the tradition of Nghe An Newspaper. In the digital age, the Editorial Board of Nghe An Newspaper and journalists have learned and mastered modern technologies early. I have noticed that on platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube that Nghe An Newspaper is applying, there is information that is both oriented and new with many ways of transmission that are very attractive to readers.
As we know, nowadays science and technology are developing, the media is developing diversely, almost everyone has a smartphone to update information. Therefore, to keep up with the modern trend, in addition to its core team of reporters, the Newspaper has a way to gather a very good team of collaborators, so the newspaper's information is now extremely rich and colorful. In particular, I find the Newspaper's international channel very good, the Newspaper has very accurate and correct ways of conveying international information.
No matter how much science and technology develop, it is through people, so journalists must have a firm point of view, specialized skills, and must really take shortcuts and proactively approach new technologies to serve their communication work.
Comrade Bui Sy Hoa - former Editor-in-Chief of Vietnamnet, former Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper:
In response to the urgent demands of life and journalism in digital technology, Nghe An Newspaper is one of the local Party newspapers that has been proactive, active and performed well in digital transformation. The timely actions, urgent policies, and scientific measures of the Newspaper have brought about positive results, improving the quality of both printed and electronic newspapers, creating a deep, long-term and solid trust of readers in and outside the province.
Currently, not only journalism, but all areas of life are being impacted and greatly influenced by artificial intelligence. Journalists need to take full advantage of the benefits that AI brings, from synthesizing information and knowledge. Without that knowledge and technological foundation, it is also very difficult for journalists to exploit information. But on the other hand, we absolutely do not let ourselves depend on AI, because AI is general knowledge, general knowledge, but each journalistic work is the individual product of each individual, of each newspaper. Therefore, besides the common, exploiting and applying the common, we still have to take the path of thoroughly promoting and exploiting it well to create something unique. Our works contribute to the data source of AI, not that we depend on it.
In the future, when the Provincial Newspaper and Radio and Television Station come together in a large house, there will be a full force of all types of journalism, including printed newspapers, electronic newspapers, television and radio. This will create a new strength. When we know how to promote the strength of the collective, the strength will be multiplied. This will be a new page of Nghe An Press when entering a new era.
Comrade Phan Thuy Lien - Former Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper:
I can say that I am a regular reader of Nghe An Newspaper, I regularly update information of Nghe An Newspaper every day. Every time we attend the Party cell meeting, the Secretary of the residential area Party cell always disseminates domestic and international information, from which we have more useful information taken from Nghe An Newspaper.
Since working at Nghe An Newspaper, I have been very aware of the development of electronic newspapers and quickly had a direction for this publication. From that early beginning until now, Nghe An Electronic Newspaper has made great strides, and I am very happy to know that Nghe An Newspaper has the highest number of visits in the country, especially in the local press sector.
Through following Nghe An Newspaper recently, I see that the publications have an attractive form, the way of conveying information is fast and rich; in terms of content, the Newspaper has shown a very high orientation, cultural and political character. Especially, information about domestic and international news, politics, culture, society, sports is updated very quickly and richly by the Newspaper, impressing readers. It must be said that Nghe An Electronic Newspaper is very loved by readers, as soon as they open their phones, they can access information in the province, the country and internationally in many rich forms...
Hopefully, in the future, after implementing the major policy, the merged Nghe An Provincial Newspaper and Radio and Television Station will be multiplied in strength, and the brothers will unite to develop Nghe An Newspaper and Radio and Television Station to match the traditional history of the provincial Party newspaper...
Comrade Ngo Duc Kien - Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper:
Realizing that digital transformation is an inevitable trend, Nghe An Newspaper has proactively transformed digitally in depth with a roadmap. First, we advised the Provincial Party Committee to issue a Project on digital transformation in 2022, linked to the period from 2022 - 2027, with a link to 2030. In the 2 years of implementing the project, we were in the top 2 of local newspapers with digital transformation maturity, considered an excellent digital transformation unit. To have that process is the effort of a very ambitious collective.
We identify strengths to capture and create momentum for the newspaper's development, which is the readership trend and multi-platform development. In the Editorial Board's vision, we have identified YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok as important platforms for development. In addition, we also identify fanpages, YouTube, and TikTok as main publications, which is how we respect reality. It is from these strategic steps that Nghe An Newspaper has the largest readership among local newspaper readers.
Second, to meet the digital transformation trend, we focus on technological innovation. Our Party has just issued Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, so we must have a breakthrough in vision as well as partners. First, in 2022, we sought out the FBI unit of Bao Moi, the leading unit at that time, to change the new interface; but by 2024, we realized that we had to connect with another unit to solve the SEO problem and the content distribution problem, and we connected with NECO again and we "launched" the new interface OneCMS.
The third point is that we focus deeply on the issue of human resources, which is the digital transformation journalist. We cannot carry out digital transformation without the human factor. We "elevate" our brothers by connecting with high-level human resource groups outside. For example, on electronic newspapers, we connect with NECO to create OneCMS; on YouTube, we connect with Google News, on Facebook, we also connect with the leading address to get the highest level of knowledge. Up to now, we have had in-depth digital transformation, there have been 2 CMS conversions; there are 3 specialized pages on the in-depth data journalism page, which is the press page about President Ho Chi Minh and his hometown Nghe An; the data page about the Nghe Tinh Soviet; and this historic June, we launched the specialized data journalism page on Party Congresses at all levels...
In the journey of digital transformation, technology preparation is the foundation, but on that foundation, there must be journalists, writers, and teams to have in-depth specialized content. In-depth content does not only delve into technology content, the core to become a digital transformation unit is still information, usefulness, and value of information.
