Regarding this book, the Truth National Political Publishing House affirms that this is not only a publication of historical value, but also a valuable and practical document to continue promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style, one of the key tasks of the entire Party and people in the current new revolutionary period.
President Ho Chi Minh was not only a national liberation hero, an outstanding cultural figure, but also a great revolutionary journalist, who laid the foundation for the birth of Vietnam's revolutionary press with the publication of Thanh Nien newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association on June 21, 1925 - a milestone in the opening of Vietnam's revolutionary press, with the task of propagating theory, politics, and ideology among the people, preparing for the birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam . Not only founding and leading many newspapers, Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh also had a "special fate" with the press. He directly wrote many articles with strong fighting spirit; trained, taught, guided, and oriented journalists and paid attention to the development of Vietnam's revolutionary press.

No matter what position he held - from a novice journalist tothe President - he always clearly and consistently affirmed the view: The press must first serve the revolution and the people. This is not only a professional view, but also a guiding ideology for the entire Vietnamese revolutionary press. It is a press that is not far from reality, not neutral, not standing outside the class struggle and the ideal of national liberation. The press must be a sharp weapon on the ideological and cultural front, the voice of the Party, the State and the working people.
The 40 works selected in the book are short but profound, simple but imbued with the spirit of service, style and art of journalists. He requires journalists to answer three questions before writing an article: Who to write for? What to write for? How to write in a way that is easy to understand, easy to remember, easy to follow. He criticizes formalistic, dogmatic, and stereotyped journalism, and at the same time requires journalists to practice a writing style that is concise, specific, focused, profound, and connected to real life. He especially values the ethics of journalists, requiring them to have revolutionary qualities, be close to the masses, live honestly, modestly, and be responsible for every word they write.
The book is not only a research document on Ho Chi Minh's ideology and journalism style, but also a guideline for journalists in the current period. In the context of the press facing many changes and challenges such as social networks, fake news, declining public trust, pressure to commercialize information, etc., returning to Ho Chi Minh's ideology and orientation on journalism is very necessary. Because no matter how the press changes its form, genre, or means, the core values of journalism remain unchanged: The press serves the Party, serves the people, for the ideal of national independence and socialism.
