With the special importance of information and propaganda work - a task that must always come first in all activities, so when the Central Party Secretariat issued Resolution No. 705 appointing the Provisional Executive Committee of the Party Committees of the three provinces of Quang Binh , Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue on June 5, 1989, only five days later, the Provisional Executive Committee of the Quang Tri Provincial Party Committee issued the first document - Decision No. 01-QD/TV dated June 10, 1989 on publishing Quang Tri newspaper - the newspaper of the Provincial Party Committee, while on July 1, 1989, Quang Tri province was re-established.
In the context of general difficulties, when it was first established, the newspaper had only 9 staff members and reporters, working, living and eating in two makeshift rooms with virtually no assets, because there were only a few sets of tables and chairs, two cameras and an old typewriter divided from Binh Tri Thien Newspaper.
However, in the joyful and excited atmosphere of the first days of the province's re-establishment, the newspaper's staff and reporters made efforts to overcome all difficulties and obstacles, so that the first issue was published on July 13, 1989 with a print run of 4,000 copies, containing the joy and pride of the entire Party Committee, army and people of the province when their homeland was restored to its beloved name.
And from here, Quang Tri newspaper is the official channel providing information on the guidelines, policies and strategies of the Party and State as well as the situation of all aspects of the province's socio -economic life, a bridge between the Party, the government and the people, and spiritual food for cadres, party members and people of all walks of life.
Looking back over the past 37 years, we can see the remarkable growth and development of Quang Tri Newspaper. With a very small staff, almost no facilities or working means in the early days of the province's establishment, the newspaper went from publishing 1 issue per week to gradually increasing to 2, 3, 4, then 6 issues per week and a monthly special issue. Along with information and propaganda work, newspaper distribution is a focused task.
However, distribution is always a difficult problem for all newspapers. For Quang Tri newspaper, there was a time when the number of published newspapers was only 1,700 copies/issue. In that situation, the newspaper sought many solutions to increase the circulation, and now the number of published newspapers has increased again with an average of about 5,500 copies/issue. It can be said that, in the general context of a significant decline in the number of printed newspapers, this is a good result for the newspaper of the Provincial Party Committee.
In order to widely disseminate and integrate the newspaper's information into the global information highway, in mid-August 2008, the electronic information page of Quang Tri Newspaper was launched to readers; by 2020, it was upgraded to an electronic newspaper. Quang Tri Electronic Newspaper has been invested in and developed remarkably, meeting the criteria of multimedia and multi-platform journalism, integrating print, audio and visual newspapers.
In addition to Vietnamese, Quang Tri e-newspaper also has an English page with 6 sections. Information on Quang Tri e-newspaper is shared on social platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, X network, Zalo and many newspapers nationwide, so the number of daily readers is very high, contributing to spreading information to all audiences, including overseas Vietnamese and foreigners.
As the mouthpiece of the Provincial Party Committee, the voice of the Party Committee, government and people of Quang Tri province, over the past 37 years, the newspaper has always followed the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, the information content always ensures the orientation, purpose, and principles of the newspaper and the provisions of the law; promptly and vividly reflects the situation in all aspects of the province and the country, accompanying the development of the homeland and the country.
The newspaper is also an active information channel participating in monitoring, criticizing, detecting, and fighting against corruption, waste, bureaucracy, and negative manifestations; regularly receiving, processing, and publishing legitimate opinions and recommendations from all walks of life and businesses, fulfilling the task of being a "bridge" between the Party, the government, and the people.
In addition to professional duties, with the view that everything we do is to build our homeland and country, bringing a beautiful life to the people, since 2009, Quang Tri Newspaper has focused on social security work.
Since then, from leaders to cadres and reporters, all have been "drawn" into activities to help the poor, to show gratitude to those who have contributed to the revolution with money, goods and household items mobilized and supported up to tens of billions of dong, bringing joy to many families, in difficult and unfortunate circumstances in life. Not only that, for many years, the newspaper has also organized table tennis and football tournaments at the provincial level (expanding to other provinces), creating a healthy and useful playground for all subjects and components in society...
As we know, the socio-economic development situation and people's lives have a great influence on press activities in the area. Quang Tri is a small province in terms of area, low population, and the economy is not yet vibrant, however, it is proud to look back at the journey that Quang Tri Newspaper has gone through with outstanding results.
That is, besides doing a good job of informing and propagating policies, guidelines, and beauty like other newspapers, the information content of Quang Tri newspaper is assessed to have a high fighting and critical nature and has never made any political mistakes.
In particular, since 2000, Quang Tri Newspaper has been one of the local Party newspapers that has won many national press awards and central specialized press awards; it is a press agency that has made significant contributions to gratitude and social security activities. The agency has always maintained the tradition of solidarity and strived to complete its tasks well.
The material and spiritual life of the staff is taken care of, creating a joyful working atmosphere, everyone considers the agency as their second home. In the past journey, Quang Tri Newspaper has built an image and brand, recognized and highly appreciated by leaders, staff in the province, colleagues at other newspapers, and trusted and respected by the people.
We are very happy and proud that the staff and reporters of Quang Tri Newspaper have a solid foundation to confidently step forward with friends and colleagues from the press agencies of Quang Binh and Quang Tri provinces to continue the new journey.
And hopefully, with the good things, they will always be inherited and promoted, so that the provincial press career can contribute more to the process of building the homeland and country, worthy of being the mouthpiece of the Party Committee, the voice of the Party Committee, the government and the people of Quang Tri province.
