Write with confidence and responsibility

For journalists, learning from Uncle Ho is not just about listening to theories. It is a journey of self-reflection, self-correction, self-improvement in life, in work, and for us journalists, in every word. Over the years, the Party Cell and the Editorial Board of Lai Chau Newspaper have always clearly identified: studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style is a continuous task, the source of creating political mettle, professional ethics, and a correct journalism style. Therefore, every year, 100% of party members, civil servants, and workers are thoroughly informed and participate in specialized study on studying and following Uncle Ho with very close and practical topics and themes. From there, each individual is proactive and voluntary in building a commitment, a training and self-improvement plan associated with specific tasks, closely following the assigned responsibilities. Those commitments are not formalities, but a measure of responsibility - where each person identifies their own limits to overcome and improve themselves. The content of learning and following Uncle Ho has become a habit in Party cell activities and professional activities, clearly reflected in the progress of each reporter, editor, and technical staff. Thanks to that, every year, 100% of Party members, civil servants, and workers complete their tasks well or better; many of them have completed their tasks excellently, contributing to maintaining the role and position of Lai Chau Newspaper in the hearts of readers.
It is worth mentioning that learning from Uncle Ho does not stop at awareness but is concretized by action. Lai Chau Newspaper has built and publicly posted the professional ethics standards according to Ho Chi Minh's thought - a document not only to read but also to reflect on and correct ourselves every day. This is also the fulcrum for our team of journalists to stand firm in the face of professional challenges and temptations, especially in today's press environment with many pressures.
Following Uncle Ho, for journalists, means going to the grassroots, writing about real people, real events, writing with love for the country, and trust in the people. Over the years, Lai Chau Newspaper has regularly maintained the columns: "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style", "Good people - good deeds", "Bright examples of the Muong village", reflecting thousands of bright examples at the grassroots - ordinary people, living according to morality, contributing to the strength of the community.

Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style is a continuous task of Lai Chau Newspaper. Thanks to studying Uncle Ho, every year 100% of party members, officials and employees of Lai Chau Newspaper complete their tasks well or better.

In the past 10 years alone, nearly 2,800 press works on studying and following Uncle Ho have been born from that journey. That is not just a number - it is proof of a process of diligently going and writing, living with the breath of life, living with the spirit of studying and following the leader. Among them are hundreds of works participating in competitions, dozens of major awards of the Central Committee such as: A Prize for composing and promoting literary, artistic and press works on the theme "Studying and following the ideology, morality and style of Ho Chi Minh" of the Central Committee in 2023. On the occasion of the recent anniversary of Uncle Ho's birthday, at this contest, Lai Chau Newspaper was also honored to win the C prize, contributing to making Lai Chau province a bright spot of the contest. Not only that, thanks to learning from Uncle Ho, Lai Chau Newspaper has also achieved many other successes at the Golden Hammer and Sickle Award, Dien Hong Award, Traffic Safety Journalism Award, Political Essay Contest Award to Protect the Party's Ideological Foundation... Those awards are recognition - but more deeply, it shows that journalists at Lai Chau Newspaper have truly lived and "absorbed" Uncle Ho's thoughts in every word they write. What is valuable is that, in each of those works, the writer does not stand aside, but participates, does not avoid, but commits, does not embellish, but accurately reflects reality to contribute to correcting and perfecting life. This is also a vivid expression of learning from Uncle Ho: honesty, courage, objectivity and humanity.
There cannot be a collective that changes positively without an exemplary core role. At Lai Chau Newspaper, the head of the Party Cell and the Editorial Board is a shining example for the collective to follow. In Party activities, self-criticism and criticism are not done perfunctorily but become democratic forums, where each individual can speak frankly, give real opinions, and build each other up. The Party Cell and the Editorial Board even assign competent agency leaders to write articles and participate in competitions to become the "bricks" that form the foundation for movements. The Party Cell regularly includes the content of learning from Uncle Ho in thematic activities, linked to the assessment of the training commitment of each Party member. 100% of Party members and officials are periodically monitored; learning from Uncle Ho becomes an important criterion in emulation, evaluation, and year-end classification. Those who have not done well are given comments and support; individuals who have done well are promptly commended and rewarded. That is how the Lai Chau Newspaper Party Cell creates an atmosphere of encouragement for innovation and upholds the truth - the core of Ho Chi Minh's ideology.
For the collective of party members, cadres and civil servants of Lai Chau Newspaper, learning and following Uncle Ho is a journey without end. It is a journey to improve professional ethics, constantly renew thinking, engage in practice, and put the pen into the flow of life with the highest spirit of service.
In the context of the rapid transformation of journalism, where digital technology is changing the way journalism is done every day, learning from and following Uncle Ho is even more meaningful. It is a guiding light that helps journalists not deviate from their course, not get caught up in the marketization and commercialization of information; and maintain the essence of revolutionary journalism: loyal to the ideal, attached to the people, courageously fighting and dedicating themselves to the truth.
At Lai Chau Newspaper, each article, each reporter going to the grassroots is not only to record, but also to learn and follow Uncle Ho. Articles about the elimination of temporary housing, about ethnic minorities overcoming difficulties, about economic development models, typical examples of learning from Uncle Ho... not only have a propaganda effect, but have truly contributed to changing social awareness, spreading good values, encouraging the movement of learning and following Uncle Ho among the masses.
Learning from and following Uncle Ho has no end. It is a journey to inspire ideals, strengthen beliefs, and foster aspirations to build and protect the Fatherland. For journalists, it is also a journey to preserve the identity of the profession, to write with all their heart and mind, for a true revolutionary journalism, steadfast in the hearts of the people and in today's digital age.
