I also commend the collectives and individuals who have preserved, shared, and donated to the Vietnam Press Museum, so that from now on, these documents and artifacts will no longer remain dormant in private rooms or display cases.

The Journalists Association was the organizing unit, with the provincial departments and agencies in the culture and social sector, along with press agencies in the province, providing newspapers, magazines, newsletters published during the year and Tet (Lunar New Year) issues for the Provincial Journalists Association to display. The opening ceremony was mainly attended by internal staff, reporters, and members. The publicity activities were not widespread.

This included changes to the scale of the event, notably expanding it to 10 exhibition booths showcasing newspapers and journalistic publications from 10 provincial and central press agencies based in the province; the event was held at the Provincial Museum.

Following the success of 2024, starting from the fourth quarter of 2024, the Journalists Association advised the Provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 158/KH-UBND dated October 16, 2024, to organize the Spring Press Festival of the Year of the Snake and participate in the activities of the National Press Festival in 2025.

“The Spring Press Festival of Hung Yen province will continue to be held at the Provincial Museum to meet the requirements of expanding the scale of press booths and exhibitions of press photos and art during the Spring Press Festival. The highlight of this year's Hung Yen Spring Press Festival is the presence of press booths from 10 departments, agencies, and media organizations in the province (Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department; Department of Information and Communications; Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; Hung Yen Newspaper; Hung Yen Radio and Television Station; Provincial Literature and Arts Association; Provincial Journalists Association;…” – Ms. Hoang Thi Thanh Mai emphasized.

The Standing Vice President of the Hung Yen Provincial Journalists Association also shared that, to have such a successful opening ceremony, all coordinating units worked smoothly, carefully, and thoughtfully.
