The press plays an important role in orienting public opinion, spreading and enhancing positive information in the daily news flow while promptly reflecting the people's thoughts, aspirations and legitimate recommendations, contributing to strengthening the "flesh and blood" relationship between the Party and the people and the great national unity bloc.
That was the affirmation of Mr. Le Quoc Minh, member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association at the National Scientific Conference "Party newspaper system with the work of protecting the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints."
The workshop was organized by the Academy of Journalism and Communication in collaboration with Nhan Dan Newspaper on the afternoon of September 16 in Hanoi .
According to Mr. Le Quoc Minh, since the Resolution No. 35-NQ/TU of the 12th Politburo on "Strengthening the protection of the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against erroneous and hostile views in the new situation" was issued, press agencies in the Party newspaper system have participated very actively and effectively, in many diverse forms and creative ways.
However, in reality, there are many difficulties and challenges for Party press agencies in carrying out the task of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints. Especially, when our country integrates more and more deeply into the international community, along with the explosion of information on the Internet and social networks, it creates conditions for hostile forces and erroneous viewpoints to take advantage of cyberspace to communicate and sabotage the Party's ideological foundation.
Sharing the same view, Professor-Doctor Le Van Loi, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, said that the task of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints in the new situation continues to face many difficulties and challenges due to the complicated developments in the regional and world situations. This is posing increasingly complex and heavy requirements and demands on the agencies in the Party's press system in implementing Resolution No. 35-NQ/TU of the Politburo.
“It is very necessary to continue to improve the quality and promote more effectively the key role of the Party newspaper system in protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against current erroneous and hostile viewpoints,” Mr. Le Van Loi emphasized.
At the workshop, Ms. Vu Thi Huong Thuy, member of the Party Executive Committee and Chief of Office of the Party Committee of Vietnam News Agency, shared about the unit's efforts in protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against the false arguments of hostile forces.
Accordingly, in just the first 6 months of 2024, Vietnam News Agency will handle 115 internal reports on urgent sensitive issues related to security, national defense, diplomacy, and economy at each appropriate level, serving the direction and administration of the Party and State leaders. The information reported and referenced will focus on exploiting and synthesizing external public opinion on the situation in Vietnam; meetings of the Central Executive Committee, the National Assembly Standing Committee, the Extraordinary Session of the 15th National Assembly; high-level personnel issues; comments and assessments of the impact of personnel changes on Vietnam's foreign policy, investment environment, and the fight against corruption.
Along with that, many articles of Vietnam News Agency have gathered prestigious scientists, theorists, and practitioners to participate in discussions, seminars, and write articles to refute erroneous and hostile viewpoints.
According to Ms. Thuy, in the coming period, the press in general and Vietnam News Agency in particular need to continue to carry out five major missions, which are: Need to do better in the task of orienting the Party's ideology; Must accompany the country, for the national and ethnic interests; Fully perceive and perform well the function of social criticism, criticism correctly and accurately; Play a pioneering role in spreading the good, positive, limiting the bad, negative and fighting against wrong views; Accompany and be more pioneering in propagating the country's foreign policy views.
“Achieving such missions, journalistic works will truly be the voice of the Party, the State, socio-political organizations, and a trusted forum for the people,” Ms. Thuy stated./.
