Deputy Minister Truong Minh Tuan emphasized: Based on the special significance and importance of revolutionary journalism in the cause of building, developing and protecting the Fatherland, as early as October 2006, the 10th Politburo requested the Government Party Personnel Committee to direct the review and adjustment of press planning nationwide.

In January 2014, the 11th Politburo included in the working program and established the Steering Committee to develop the Project on Planning for the development and management of the national press. When considering the Project, the Central Committee focused on discussing, clarifying, and creating high consensus on the necessity of promulgating and implementing the Plan on the development and management of the national press until 2025.

In particular, the Project clearly states the main contents such as comprehensive assessment of the press situation, viewpoints, goals of press planning and planning orientation for each type of press (currently there are 4 types of press including print press, electronic press, audio press, visual press); plan to arrange press types.

According to general assessment, in recent times, the country's press has made many positive contributions, doing well in propagating the viewpoints, guidelines, policies and strategies of the Party and State, being the voice of the Party, socio-political organizations, socio-political and professional organizations, and a forum for the people.

But besides that, the press also has many shortcomings and weaknesses. Many press agencies have not fulfilled their purposes and objectives; have not demonstrated their role as the voice of the Party, political organizations, socio-political organizations, and professional organizations; have not ensured that they fulfill their role as a forum for the people. In 2014, many press agencies, especially subsidiary publications, had content violations, causing outrage in society.

Many governing bodies abandon or reduce their responsibilities, even depending on the press's finances to operate.

Therefore, the Project on Planning for the development of national press management until 2025 has been implemented to ensure that press agencies develop in a healthier and more appropriate direction.
