Reorganize and streamline to make the press stronger.

The restructuring, planning, and streamlining of the press system is a crucial step in building a professional, modern, and revolutionary press that meets the demands of development in the digital age.

The discussion session "Organizing the operations of press agencies - an insider's perspective" within the framework of the National Press Forum 2026 on the afternoon of June 20 attracted considerable attention from the public and the press community.

The discussion session "Organizing the operations of press agencies - an insider's perspective" took place on the afternoon of June 20th.

In his opening remarks at the discussion session, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department Tran Thanh Lam affirmed that the Party's viewpoint on the press has always been consistent and unwavering. That is: the Party exercises absolute and comprehensive leadership over press work; revolutionary journalism is the voice of the Party and the State, and at the same time, a forum for the people.

In the current context, that orientation continues to be concretized through many new policies aimed at building a humane and modern press, publishing, and media industry.

In fact, the process of media planning over the past period has contributed to overcoming the overlapping, scattered, and dispersed nature of resources and improving the effectiveness of state management of media activities.

According to Mr. Tran Thanh Lam, the goal of streamlining is not only to reorganize the structure but also to build a team of journalists with strong political convictions, solid professional expertise, impeccable professional ethics, and mastery of new technologies.

During the discussion, many delegates noted that proactively reducing the number of investment units does not narrow the development space, but is a necessary step to overcome the situation of scattered investment and optimize resources to adapt to the multi-platform trend.

However, the process of restructuring and reorganizing the press apparatus also poses many challenges for media organizations.

Previously, these agencies had many independent departments and divisions operating according to different types of journalism. After restructuring, the entire organization was streamlined, requiring departments to collaborate in content production instead of focusing solely on one type of media.

Delegates shared their views during the discussion session.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thanh Loi, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Press and Broadcasting Agency, said that the transition from the print media environment to radio, television, and multimedia production requires journalists to quickly adapt to new working methods.

Delegates argued that reorganizing operations in a scientific and transparent manner is the core foundation for building a revolutionary, professional, humane, and modern press, and for enhancing competitiveness in the digital age.
