Nghe An Newspaper wins the 19th National Journalism Award in 2024.

The ceremony began with an artistic performance celebrating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam's Revolutionary Press Day, consisting of three parts: "The Origin of Light," "Resistance - Nation Building - Steadfast Faith," and "The Pen of the Era." This program recreated the history of Vietnam's revolutionary press, accompanying the nation's momentous events, demonstrating absolute loyalty to the revolutionary path chosen by the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, and wholeheartedly serving the country and its people.

The National Press Award is a prestigious annual award approved by the Government and organized by the Vietnam Journalists Association. It is a well-deserved reward to honor outstanding journalists and journalistic works that have made significant contributions to building a modern, humane, and combative Vietnamese press. Especially in 2025 – the 100th anniversary of Vietnam's Revolutionary Press Day – the award takes on even greater significance and meaning.

This year, amidst the restructuring and streamlining of many media organizations in line with general policies, the National Journalism Award maintained its prestige and widespread influence. 1,970 entries were submitted from 59 out of 63 provincial and city Journalists' Associations, 17 out of 21 branch associations, and 29 branches directly under the Central Association. After the preliminary round, 183 outstanding works advanced to the final round, and 128 works were honored, including: 13 A Prizes, 27 B Prizes, 49 C Prizes, and 39 Encouragement Prizes.

A special feature of this year's awards is the introduction of two new categories for the first time: Multimedia Journalism and Creative Journalism. This accurately reflects the development trend of modern journalism – multi-platform, applying digital technology, and delivering engaging, flexible, and effective information to readers.

Speaking at the ceremony, Comrade Le Quoc Minh - Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, and President of the Vietnam Journalists Association - stated: Many of the winning entries this year were meticulously crafted in both content and form, demonstrating modern journalistic thinking while still ensuring political and ideological integrity, accuracy, and strong social impact. Topics of high topical relevance such as administrative reform, digital transformation, climate change, education in remote areas, deforestation, flood and storm relief efforts, and examples of good people and good deeds were vividly and emotionally portrayed, deeply moving the hearts of readers.

At the ceremony commemorating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam's Revolutionary Press Day and the awarding of the 19th National Press Awards, Comrade Pham Minh Chinh - Member of the Political Bureau and Prime Minister - extended his congratulations to journalists nationwide, especially to the outstanding authors and works honored this year. The Prime Minister acknowledged and highly appreciated the immense role of the revolutionary press in the struggle for national liberation, national construction, and defense; affirming that the press is a core force in disseminating the Party's guidelines, the State's policies and laws, and serves as a bridge between the Party, the government, and the people.

The Prime Minister emphasized that, in the current period, the press needs to continue to uphold its revolutionary spirit, constantly innovate in content and methods of expression, proactively participate in the digital transformation, fight against corruption and negative phenomena, and contribute to building a socialist rule of law state.
Comrade Pham Minh Chinh also urged press agencies and journalists to continue to improve their professional ethics, maintain their political stance, and stand alongside the Government and the people on the journey of rapid and sustainable national development...
