Feelings when reading the Bac Ninh Newspaper publication at the end of the month

According to the policy of the Central Government, the Newspaper and Radio and Television Station of the two provinces of Bac Giang and Bac Ninh (old) were merged, taking the new name of Bac Ninh Newspaper and Radio and Television. Thanks to that, the number of staff and reporters increased significantly. Looking at the enthusiastic faces, enthusiastically discussing topics, discussing new directions to improve content and modernize the way of making newspapers, my heart suddenly filled with joy. Their bright eyes made me more confident in a dynamic and creative Bac Ninh journalism team, ready for positive changes.

I was quite surprised when Mr. Nguyen Trung Hien, Editor-in-Chief of Bac Ninh Newspaper and Radio and Television, gave me some copies of Bac Ninh at the end of the month that still smelled of paper and ink. The newspaper was beautifully printed, the white background, the vivid pictures had a magnetic appeal, making readers want to pick it up immediately to explore .

July is the month of gratitude "When drinking water, remember its source", so right on the front page of Bac Ninh at the end of July, there was an article "Building a culture of gratitude" by author Mai Nam Thang, reflecting on the activities of visiting, giving gifts, and sewing silk shirts for the wives of martyrs. This is a meaningful article, evoking many thoughts during the month of War Invalids and Martyrs, reminding generations of Vietnamese people to always remember and be grateful for the contributions of those who sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland. Next is the article "Many meaningful activities to celebrate War Invalids and Martyrs Day" compiled by Quynh Huong, reviewing the charitable activities from the Central to local levels for war invalids and martyrs' families.

It can be said that the End of July issue has a strong theme of gratitude, both rich in content and attractive in presentation. In addition, there are many quality articles worth reading such as "Plains and mountains spread their wings", reflecting the strengths and mutual support after the merger of the two provinces of Bac Ninh and Bac Giang. The issue also mentions the work of stabilizing the party organization at the commune level after the merger to prepare for the congress. This is an important current issue, when the communes' areas are larger, the population is larger, requiring the improvement of the apparatus, and the assignment of tasks to cadres and party members to be specific and close to reality. In addition, the Editorial Board also focuses on reflecting many other issues such as solutions to "remove bottlenecks" to create breakthroughs in urban development; solving the flooding situation in Bac Giang after heavy rains...

I remember nearly 40 years ago, teachers at journalism schools often said: “No one can teach any profession but journalism.” Journalism has only one “common denominator”: It must stick to events and reflect truthfully and accurately. A good article, a quality journalistic work depends a lot on the writer’s life experience, thinking and political acumen.

Currently, journalists are facing great challenges from the global information explosion. Therefore, Bac Ninh Newspaper needs to further promote dynamism and sensitivity to approach events as quickly as possible. Editorial work must focus on improving quality, adjusting the approval process, ensuring information is published in the newspaper promptly and accurately. Long-winded articles, obscure sentences, and lack of information need to be eliminated, because today's readers increasingly demand high quality. Instead, short, concise articles containing practical information that is relevant to social concerns will certainly be welcomed by readers.
