(Baonghean)The website baonghean.vn has become a familiar, beloved, and trusted address for many readers both domestically and internationally. Over 25,000 daily visitors to the website is a testament to this, a source of joy, and encouragement for those working in online journalism.
Since its launch on January 2nd, 2008, the Nghe An Online Newspaper has received many letters from readers and contributors offering sincere feedback, questions, and suggestions, expressing a desire to read more information about all aspects of their homeland. This is the reason why the online newspaper of our hometown is growing stronger and more mature. For those from Nghe An living far from home, the Nghe An Online Newspaper has become a close friend, a bridge connecting them to joyful places... Accessing the Baonghean.vn website is like reconnecting with loved ones, reliving memories of the place where they were born and raised, memories deeply etched in their minds and carried with them as they journey to distant lands.
A delegation from Pasaxon Newspaper (Laos) visited the Electronic Newspaper office on July 12, 2011.
Every day, staff, reporters, and editors are always ready, whether on duty at the office or on assignment, prioritizing immediate implementation of any unexpected tasks. The motto for online journalism is: fast, accurate, and engaging. Each time they receive a breaking news story, a great article, or a beautiful photo series, the journalists become even more enthusiastic, carefully considering every word and number, selecting each photo, carefully considering every cropping, and performing technical operations quickly and accurately, with the goal of getting the information online as soon as possible.
The intensive reporting campaigns on major, topical issues such as the National Party Congress and Provincial Party Congress, the National Assembly and People's Council elections at all levels, provincial leaders' meetings with international delegations, central and ministerial delegations, and responses to storms and natural disasters... truly pose challenges for online journalists. For example, the collapse of the Len Co quarry in Nam Thanh commune (Yen Thanh district) on the morning of April 1, 2011. Nghe An Online was the first newspaper to publish full news and photos about this tragic event. Similarly, during the May 22, 2011 National Assembly and People's Council elections, in remote areas where elections were held a day early, reporters went to every village to report and take photos continuously, while editors and technicians worked tirelessly to process and report the news promptly. The timeliness of each article and news report is measured minute by minute, hour by hour, to keep up with the flow of events. In just three days (May 20-22), the online newspaper published 95 news articles and 195 photos about the election. The number of visits on May 22 increased by more than 10,000 compared to a normal day.
The greatest joy for those working in online journalism is receiving enthusiastic cooperation from contributors from all over the country. Their sincere and frank suggestions include expanding the newspaper's sections, covering a wider range of life issues, focusing on the poor and ethnic minorities in mountainous regions, and continuously improving the interface, presentation, and reader convenience.
It was very touching to receive these heartfelt messages from afar:
- "As someone from Nghe An who has been living and working in Phu Yen province for 25 years, I often follow the news on Nghe An Online Newspaper. Seeing my hometown changing makes me very happy... I want to do something for my hometown..." (Nguyen Van Khoi - Hoang Khoi Co., Ltd. - Phu Yen).
- "Reading the Nghe An Online Newspaper truly left a deep impression on me, a love for my homeland, Nghe An. I long to bathe in the gentle Lam River, to climb the majestic and imposing Quyet Mountain... Hopefully, through this newspaper, those of us who are far from home can join hands and contribute to beautifying our homeland..." (Chu Ngoc Cuong - Da Lat University).
With such sincere and warm words, expressing both heartfelt feelings and earnest hopes, the online journalists will have to work even harder and strive even more to ensure that Nghe An Online Newspaper conveys useful information to readers throughout the country.
