On June 18, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City coordinated with the People's Committee of Nguyen Thai Binh Ward, District 1 to organize the launching ceremony of the national historical relic signboard of the Dan Chung Newspaper Headquarters. The event aims to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2025).
At the ceremony, Ms. Tran Anh Dao, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Nguyen Thai Binh Ward, said that Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, June 21 every year, is an occasion to show gratitude to journalists who have contributed to building a strong revolutionary press, truthfully reflecting social life, spreading inspirational stories and examples.
In order to preserve historical values and honor the contributions of generations of journalists, the Ward People's Committee has renovated and installed a sign introducing the National Historical Relic of the Dan Chung Newspaper Headquarters at 43 Le Thi Hong Gam (District 1).
Dan Chung Newspaper was established in 1938, at 43 Hamelin Street - Saigon (now 43 Le Thi Hong Gam). This is a forum for propagating Marxism-Leninism, propagating the Party's revolutionary line to the public at home and abroad; winning the fight for freedom of speech, contributing to enriching the Vietnamese language, and contributing brilliant pages in the history of Vietnam's revolutionary press.
During more than a year of existence (from July 1938 to September 1939) with a total of 80 issues, Dan Chung newspaper developed into a widely influential press agency with a significant circulation.
The main content of Dan Chung focuses on reflecting current domestic and international issues such as the threat of fascism; the risk of world war; the struggle for peace led by the Communist International; the movement to demand improvement of people's lives and democracy in the country...
On August 30, 1939, facing the threat of World War II, Dan Chung was forced to stop publishing, stop public activities and go underground.
Despite its short time of operation, the newspaper is still a testament to the essential role of the press in reflecting reality, shaping social ideology and contributing to shaping the historical process of the nation.
On November 16, 1988, the Headquarters of Dan Chung Newspaper was recognized as a National Historical Relic in Ho Chi Minh City by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism).
