Inspiring the younger generation to pursue journalism.

In the context of journalism facing profound changes under the impact of digital transformation, the demands placed on journalists, especially the younger generation, extend beyond professional skills to include professional integrity, social responsibility, and a commitment to journalistic ethics. To further motivate and guide journalism students, numerous exchange and practical experience activities have been organized, contributing to bridging the gap between generations of journalists.

Students participate in the "One Hour as a Reporter" experiential activity at the Huynh Thuc Khang School of Journalism historical site.

In reality, without early preparation, journalism students can easily feel overwhelmed when entering the professional environment – ​​where the pressure to process information quickly, accurately, and adapt to technology is increasingly high. Therefore, cultivating awareness and professional ideals from their time in school is considered a crucial factor in helping young people pursue journalism seriously and sustainably.

For many students, meetings and discussions with experienced journalists not only provide practical knowledge but also help them gain a clearer perspective on their chosen career path.

Do Nhat Anh, a third-year student at the Institute of Journalism, Communication and Interdisciplinary Sciences , University of Science (Thai Nguyen University), shared: "What impressed me most was how journalists looked directly at the current realities of the profession. Journalism is no longer just about writing news articles; it requires professionals to constantly update their technology, innovate their thinking, and adapt to the very rapid changes in society."

Journalism students todayUnlike other professions, journalism students must constantly adapt to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of society. Therefore, young people studying journalism today face significant pressure and must strive for excellence every day.

From a training perspective, Dr. Le Dinh Hai, lecturer at the Institute of Journalism, Communication and Interdisciplinary Sciences, believes that creating opportunities for students to access practical professional experience is of particular importance. Through experiential activities, students not only gain a deeper understanding of the history of revolutionary Vietnamese journalism but also develop a more profound awareness of professional ethics and the social responsibility of journalists.

According to Dr. Le Dinh Hai, technology and journalistic methods may change rapidly with the development of society, but the core values ​​of journalism such as honesty, objectivity, responsibility to the community, and the dedication of the professional remain irreplaceable foundations.

These themes were clearly demonstrated through the "Back to the Roots" program held at the Huynh Thuc Khang School of Journalism historical site. In this historically significant space – considered the cradle of training the country's first revolutionary journalists – generations of journalists and students had the opportunity to frankly exchange and share their professional journeys, opportunities, and challenges facing journalism in the digital age.

Through real-life stories, students understand that journalism requires not only professional knowledge and operational skills, but also professional ideals, a spirit of dedication, and long-term responsibility towards society.

From the perspective of someone with many years of experience in journalism, Mr. Nguyen Bao Lam, former Chairman of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Journalists Association, believes that journalism students need to proactively equip themselves with knowledge, professional skills, and modern journalistic technology to meet the increasingly high demands of practice. However, according to him, the most important factor remains the human element.
