Broadcasting in the hearts of listeners.

- In this age of information and visual explosion, spoken news (or radio broadcasting) still maintains its position through the power of sound. For those working in radio broadcasting at the Radio, Newspaper and Television Broadcasting Department of Lang Son, they are not only news providers but also transmitters of emotions and messages through each program.

Leaders of the Radio, Newspaper and Television Station of Lang Son Province review the audio recording of "The first live radio broadcast, Monday, June 3, 2002".

Over 46 years of formation and development (from 1979 to the present), from facing many difficulties in terms of infrastructure and a young workforce in the early years of its establishment, the team of radio reporters of the Provincial Radio Station (now Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station) has continuously innovated and created to attract more listeners.

Journalist Nong Thi Hao, Head of the Radio, Newspaper and Radio and Television Department of Lang Son, said: "Every day, we produce three programs (general; current affairs and city news), each 30 minutes long, covering various genres such as news, feature articles, and special topics... On average, the department produces about 600 radio news items and articles per month. To successfully carry out the task of producing radio programs, the entire department is always united, striving, constantly improving in content and presentation, and innovating in the production process to enhance the quality of the programs."

Radio broadcasting is characterized by its use of sound to convey information to listeners; therefore, reporters need to be able to use language flexibly, possess an expressive voice, and know how to combine sound effects to deliver information clearly, vividly, and engagingly to listeners. In addition, to produce a radio program, reporters must plan the content, conduct field research to gather material, record interviews, write scripts, then have editors edit, broadcasters read commentary, technicians produce the program, and finally, broadcast it.

Having dedicated 18 years to her profession, journalist Hua Lam Ngoc Thu, a reporter for the Radio, Newspaper, and Television Station of Lang Son, has always been tirelessly involved in fieldwork, immersing herself in reality across various fields such as economics , culture, and education. With her emotionally rich style, she has made her mark through many high-quality radio programs, winning numerous awards at both provincial and national levels. Ms. Thu stated: "Radio broadcasting lacks visuals, so we must pay even more attention to selecting the right sound, the right narration, and especially the way we convey emotion through our voice. For me, each field trip, though arduous, is meaningful when the information reaches the listeners and receives positive feedback from the community."

Currently, the radio programs of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station are broadcast via Vinasat 2 satellite, on a 5KW FM transmitter, frequency 88.6MHz, for 6 hours and 30 minutes/day, and relayed from the Voice of Vietnam (VOV3) for 16 hours/day. Relaying from the Voice of Vietnam is also done on a 10KW FM transmitter, VOV1 frequency 95MHz from 5 AM to 12 AM daily, and VOV2 frequency 99.5MHz from 5 AM to 12 AM daily at the Mau Son FM broadcasting station, achieving 100% coverage throughout the province.

Over the years, with flexibility, creativity, and a determination to innovate and adapt to the times, the broadcasting staff of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station have been constantly striving to keep up with the trends of the times, innovating in terms of presentation, improving content quality, and attracting a wider audience.

For example, since April 2025, the Broadcasting Department has applied AI technology to reading short news bulletins and organized monthly training sessions for members to share experiences and generate ideas for new works… Notably, also since April 2025, following the department's policy, reporters have increased live broadcasts, directly sending news and articles from the field, with technicians immediately processing the broadcasts. In addition, for feature articles and special topics, reporters will present their own work (self-recording) instead of having announcers read it aloud as before.

In the context of constantly innovating and diversifying journalism, radio broadcasting still maintains its unique position, close and familiar to the people, especially in remote areas. Ms. Loc Thi Hom, from San Vien commune, Loc Binh district, shared: "I am over 60 years old this year and I often listen to the radio. Thanks to listening to radio programs, I know about the weather, diseases affecting crops and livestock, and how to take better care of my family's pine forest. Radio broadcasting is not just news, but like a companion on the journey with us."

Journalist Nguyen Dong Bac, Editor-in-Chief of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station, stated: "The spoken news format of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station has made remarkable progress recently, especially with reporters increasing their direct reporting from the scene and presenting their own work. Through this, they promptly convey authentic, relatable, and emotionally resonant information to listeners, contributing to fulfilling the historical mission of spoken news in the present era."

It is understood that, in the future, to attract more listeners, the department will move towards launching more cultural and artistic programs, radio skits, and will advise on establishing separate social media pages for the radio programs of Lang Son Newspaper and Radio and Television Station…
