Through the revolutionary stages, the press has not only excellently fulfilled its task of providing information, promptly and vividly reflecting the country's reality, but also contributed significantly to ideological education, orienting public opinion, fighting against and preventing false and hostile arguments, raising political awareness for the people. At the same time, the press is also a forum for the people, for people to reflect their thoughts, feelings, aspirations, and give suggestions to the Party and the State on policies, guidelines, and policies, helping the Party's policies and guidelines to enter life and serve the people.

Sharing about the meaning and importance of the book, Member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper Le Quoc Minh said: “When reading the book, we can systematically look back at the 100-year development of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press, from the difficult early days to the present. The book is compiled and published in bilingual form, not only helping Vietnamese people better understand the history of the country's press, but also vividly introducing to international friends the proud development journey of the Vietnamese revolutionary press.

| The largest collector of books, newspapers and magazines in Vietnam, Nguyen Phi Dung, shared at the event. |
Also attending the event was collector Nguyen Phi Dung, who contributed many documents to the book. Since 2016, Mr. Nguyen Phi Dung has been diligently collecting books, newspapers, magazines and currently owns a huge amount of about 23 tons of printed documents. Mr. Nguyen Phi Dung shared: “Up to now, I have collected about 23 tons. Many people are surprised, even do not understand why a person who is not a journalist, not an archivist, would spend money, effort, and travel many times everywhere... just to collect something without knowing clearly what to do with it. But to me, newspapers are historical witnesses at the time of publication. Each page of the newspaper retains the breath of the times, telling the story of how our ancestors lived, fought, and protected the country. I want these documents to be preserved for future generations, so that our descendants know how vividly the past existed through each page of the newspaper.”
Not only stopping at archiving, since March 2025, with the support of a friend, Mr. Dung has begun to digitize his entire collection of books, newspapers and magazines, with the desire to spread historical values to the community and contribute to raising awareness of preserving the heritage of printed documents that are gradually fading away.
