Propaganda work adapted to the realities in specific areas
(Baonghean.vn) - Faced with challenges in the new situation, the grassroots political system and propaganda staff are making efforts to promptly adapt to reality, doing a good job of propagating the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's laws and policies to the people.
When the village elders do propaganda
As one of the prestigious village elders of Cau Tam village (Ta Ca commune, Ky Son district), Mr. Vi Thai Binh, although a Thai ethnic, is fluent in the languages of many other ethnic groups. According to him, when communicating with people, although many people understand the common language, when talking in the language of the ethnic group, the story will become easier to sympathize and share. In stories or village activities, Mr. Vi Thai Binh skillfully conveys information about the Party's viewpoints and guidelines, the State's policies and laws. Thereby, he contributes to the local Party Committee, government and organizations to do a good job of orienting ideology and disseminating information quickly and fully to ethnic minorities.
Ky Son district is far from the center of the province, with a population of more than 82,000 people, of which 94% are ethnic minorities, the poverty rate accounts for more than 50%, people's lives still have many economic difficulties, and the intellectual level is uneven. With the district's own characteristics, the work of information and propaganda of the Party's policies and the State's laws as well as activities of grasping and orienting public opinion in the district have unique characteristics in the implementation stage.
In addition to organizing information through the activities of the Party cell, the association, the youth union, distributing leaflets, and propagandizing through the grassroots radio system, the Propaganda Department of the Ky Son District Party Committee also pays great attention to the information channel through the village elders, village chiefs, and prestigious people in the community. According to Mr. Lu Quang Hung - Head of the Propaganda Department of the Ky Son District Party Committee, the village elders and village chiefs are the "extended arms", bringing information to the people quickly and reliably.
According to comrade Lu Quang Hung, to do a good job of propaganda in a special area like the mountainous district of Ky Son, there must be many ways to do it in accordance with real life. For remote villages with difficulty accessing information via radio or the internet, the District Party Committee's Propaganda Department often cooperates with the Youth Union to use loudspeakers to propagate to each village and each household. In addition, to prevent and refute fake news and distorted information from hostile forces on social networking sites, in village and hamlet meetings, reporters also analyze and point out to people the methods and tricks that bad elements use to create fake information, thereby contributing to political stability, ensuring security and order, creating consensus in society, and building a solid national solidarity bloc.
In-depth dialogue, regular public opinion orientation
Recently, the People's Committee of Dien Chau district had a dialogue with 10 households of Dien Tho commune who have not signed the compensation and site clearance documents during the implementation of the Tho Loc Industrial Park Phase 1 investment and business project. Here, comrade Pham Xuan Sanh - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Dien Chau district, Chairman of the District Compensation and Site Clearance Council directly answered and explained the people's problems. This is one of many dialogues organized regularly and promptly with the purpose of listening to the people's opinions, at the same time the authorities explain and answer the people's concerns, thereby gradually removing the problems, creating consensus in the implementation of projects in the area.
Comrade Chu Hong Phi - Head of the Propaganda Department of Dien Chau District Party Committee said: The Party Committee and the government of Dien Chau district have effectively implemented dialogue with party members and people. In particular, when there are issues of public concern or outstanding problems at the grassroots level, the leaders of the Party Committee and government from the district to the commune have promptly dialogued with the people to resolve the problems right from the start. Most recently, with the problems in the construction of the North-South Expressway through the district, the district leaders directly went to dialogue with the people to discuss, contributing to resolving the problems, promptly stabilizing the situation at the grassroots level, gradually creating consensus among the people, so that the project can be implemented smoothly and on schedule.
Meanwhile, before 2018, Quynh Luu used to be a "hot spot" for security and order, the center of sabotage by reactionary elements. Up to now, the security and order situation in the district has stabilized. That result is the active participation of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee in directing the work of fighting against erroneous and hostile views in a systematic and synchronous manner. The Propaganda Department of the Quynh Luu District Party Committee always focuses on grasping information and social opinions on cyberspace, regularly monitoring, detecting and promptly handling subjects spreading false, distorted, bad, toxic information that violates the law on cyberspace to have timely handling directions.
Recently, Quynh Luu district has discovered and handled 8 cases of posting false and unfounded news, with signs of offending the reputation of agencies, organizations, and personal honor; with sensitive content affecting public opinion in the area, and at the same time requested to remove information and administratively handle nearly 50 million VND. Along with that, the Propaganda Department of Quynh Luu District Party Committee also strives to promptly convey official information related to hot issues of public interest so that cadres, party members and people can clearly understand, and at the same time be vigilant against the incitement plots of extremists and hostile forces.
According to comrade Pham Ngoc Canh - Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department, in recent times, many localities in the province have done a very good job of propagating, encouraging and motivating ethnic minorities and religious people to actively contribute to the cause of national construction and defense; contributing to creating consensus in society, strengthening and consolidating people's trust in the Party and State with the socio-economic development of the province. At the same time, fighting and refuting false and hostile information and viewpoints, taking advantage of ethnic and religious issues to sabotage the Party, State and regime, dividing and undermining the great national unity bloc. Many propaganda solutions have been practically implemented, with key focuses, suitable for each target, each regional characteristic, closely following the political tasks of the locality.
The application of the Internet is increasingly popular, besides a lot of useful information that is updated quickly, there is bad and toxic information, fake news that incites and divides the great national unity bloc, affecting the process of development and building the country. These are challenges for Party committees and authorities at all levels, in which the cadres doing propaganda work are the core force. The team of propaganda cadres at all levels has strengthened their closeness to the grassroots, drawn from experience, steadfast in spirit and intelligence, worthy of being the vanguard force on the ideological front, contributing to protecting the Party, protecting the State, building a strong great unity bloc, building a stable political environment, serving the development of the homeland.
