Delegates attending the Award Ceremony for "Journalism on the Transport Sector, 4th Edition, 2022-2023" and launching the "Journalism on the Transport Sector, 5th Edition, 2023-2024" Award.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Ba Kien, Editor-in-Chief of Giao Thong Newspaper and representative of the Organizing Committee, said that after one year of launching the competition, nearly 280 works (an increase of more than 50 works compared to the third competition) from nearly 60 central and local press agencies (an increase of more than 10 press agencies) have participated.
Through a screening and selection process, the Organizing Committee has chosen 25 outstanding works to award prizes. According to the judging panel, this year's entries not only increased significantly in number but also improved in quality compared to previous years. Many articles contained innovative initiatives, proposals, and ideas contributing to the development of the transportation sector.
A highlight of this year's competition is the nearly 100 long-form series, many of which are 4-5 installments long and meticulously produced, showcasing the dedication and passion of the journalists. This year, many works were presented with elaborate detail, vividly portraying the subject matter using modern, engaging, and eye-catching journalistic genres such as E-Magazines, Infographics, and Longform articles. Notable examples include: the longform series from Thai Binh newspaper: "People are informed - roads are clear"; and the photo report: "A synchronized expressway axis running from Hanoi to Mong Cai" from Vietnamnet newspaper…
Mr. Nguyen Ba Kien, Editor-in-Chief of Giao Thong Newspaper, delivered a speech.
The competition also attracted many works in the genre of reportage and feature stories, such as: "Wings Carrying Spring" by Nhan Dan Newspaper; "Lieutenant General Dong Sy Nguyen, the 'Barefoot, Iron-Willed' General" by Quang Binh Newspaper; "The Volunteer Journey of 'Barefoot Bridge and Road Engineers'" by An Giang Newspaper; "Red River Chronicle" by Tien Phong Newspaper. Particularly noteworthy was the five-part series of reports: "Sovereignty Lights on the East Sea" by Tuoi Tre Newspaper.
The Organizing Committee stated that although the number of entries and media outlets submitting works this year has increased, and the quality of content is more consistent than in previous years, this year's competition lacks works of significant stature that have had a major impact on society. Therefore, the Organizing Committee was unable to select a work to award the Special Prize. Instead, the Organizing Committee decided to increase the number of First Prizes from one to two and Second Prizes from two to three.
The Organizing Committee also awarded three collective prizes, each worth 10 million VND, to the three units with the most entries: Bac Giang Newspaper, Thanh Nien Newspaper, and Vietnam News Agency.
Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang.
Speaking at the ceremony, Minister Nguyen Van Thang assessed that the entries for this year's competition were meticulously and seriously prepared, reflecting truthfully and touching upon many hot and topical issues in the industry, conveying many profound and meaningful messages about the transport sector.
According to the Minister, inheriting and developing the glorious 78-year tradition of the transport sector; with the attention and guidance of the Party, the National Assembly, and the Government; and the close and effective coordination of central ministries and agencies and localities, generations of cadres, civil servants, and workers in the transport sector have always been united, undeterred by hardships, and strived to fulfill the mission of "Pioneering the way," making important contributions to the cause of national liberation as well as building and protecting the Fatherland.
Speaking about the "Journalism Award for Writing about the Transport Sector," the Minister said that the award not only creates a wide reach but also contributes to a closer relationship between the Ministry of Transport and media agencies, reporters, and journalists covering the sector.
Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang and Mr. Le Quoc Minh, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, and President of the Vietnam Journalists Association, presented the First Prize to the winning authors.
Through the journalistic works submitted to the Award, the transport sector receives encouragement and support, and it is also an opportunity for the Ministry of Transport to review and adjust its state management work to better suit the actual situation, successfully complete assigned tasks, and better meet the needs of people and businesses.
Having been launched four times to date, the Journalism Award for articles on the transportation sector has had a wide reach, attracting a large number of professional and amateur journalists, as well as central and local media agencies.
"I hope that the Ministry's annual Journalism Award on the Transport Sector will continue to develop, have its own unique identity, and with attractive prizes, will continue to attract even more professional and amateur authors from both the central and local levels," Minister Nguyen Van Thang further shared.
Mr. Tran Thanh Lam, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, and Mr. Nguyen Ba Kien, Editor-in-Chief of Giao Thong Newspaper, presented the second prize to the authors and groups of authors.
Within the framework of the 4th (2022-2023) Journalism Award Ceremony on the Transportation Sector and the Launch of the 5th Award (2023-2024), the Transport Newspaper officially launched its new interface with a completely new style and made significant investments to upgrade the technical infrastructure of the online newspaper along with two specialized sections (Vehicles and Traffic Safety).
Aiming for data-driven and solution-oriented journalism, Giao Thong Newspaper aims to provide readers with sufficient data and information about the industry so they can form their own opinions, while also getting closer to people's lives, addressing social concerns, and proposing solutions.
Many sections have been launched, such as Special sections focusing on in-depth data journalism; Multimedia sections vividly documenting magnificent transportation projects and the lives and destinies of special individuals closely associated with the industry; Traffic cameras to build a traffic culture; Q&A sections with quick interactive responses to readers' questions; and Vehicle profiles to help readers evaluate vehicles…
Mr. Khuat Viet Hung, Vice Chairman in charge of the National Traffic Safety Committee, and Mr. Nguyen Duc Loi, Standing Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association, presented the third-prize winning authors.
The new interface features many updated functionalities, such as AI news reading and the application of technology to the news production process. Compared to the old interface with a width of 1,004 pixels, the new interface is expanded to a maximum of 1,340 pixels (only slightly smaller than The New Yorker magazine), making it easier for readers to search for information and experience multimedia products. Besides a layout design that adheres to visual principles, the width of article content has been expanded from 689 pixels to 780 pixels, and a size adjustment feature has been added.
The new version of Giao Thong Newspaper uses news distribution technology based on reader needs, with a personalized section placed at the top of the homepage. Readers who appreciate the newspaper and register as members will receive information tailored to their interests, getting the most comprehensive daily traffic news.
As the newsroom grows stronger, the newspaper will show its gratitude to readers who have accompanied it on its journey not only with news articles but also with practical gifts distributed based on reader data stored in the digital environment, through interactions with the online newspaper and app.
The newspaper "Journalist and Public Opinion" won the Encouragement Award for its series of four articles: "Removing Obstacles to Vehicle Inspection Activities".
Also at the ceremony, Minister Nguyen Van Thang officially launched the 5th Journalism Award for articles on the transport sector in 2023-2024.
In terms of content, the journalistic works submitted for the award reflect the overall achievements of the transportation sector since the country's reform period; the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws and regulations on transportation and traffic safety; and the roles and responsibilities of ministries, departments, People's Committees at all levels, and organizations in the development of transportation and ensuring traffic safety.
