On June 21, 1925, Thanh Nien Newspaper, founded and directly directed by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc, published its first issue, marking the birth of Vietnam's revolutionary press.

The birth of Thanh Nien Newspaper contributed to solving the crisis in methods and forms of propaganda for revolutionary struggle that contemporary domestic press publications could not do.

In Nghe An, in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, this place became one of the key areas in the policy of exploitation and colonial exploitation of the French colonialists and their lackeys. After the Thanh Nien Newspaper was born, Nghe An became the place where many press publications were formed and developed to propagate the line of fighting against imperialism and feudalism.

Leader Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh - the founder and great leader of Vietnam's revolutionary journalism was also the one who trained the first generation of proletarian journalists in Vietnam such as: Le Hong Phong, Le Hong Son, Ho Tung Mau, Truong Van Linh...

President Ho Chi Minh once advised: "Journalists are also revolutionary soldiers, pens and paper are their sharp weapons."

Following his teachings, throughout the development of Vietnamese journalism, Nghe An journalism has accompanied the country and homeland in the revolutionary struggles for national liberation: propagating and encouraging patriotic emulation movements and typical examples in social life.

In the 100-year flow of Vietnam's revolutionary press, Nghe An press has continuously grown and developed, always closely following reality, reflecting truthfully, objectively, with a focus on the province's development situation; proactively providing accurate and timely information on the Party's guidelines and policies and the State's laws, while actively grasping issues that public opinion and the people are interested in to promptly reflect, thereby becoming a bridge to solve practical requirements.

In the current period, Nghe An press is actively implementing digital transformation; focusing on propagating the apparatus streamlining revolution; propagating the implementation of important Resolutions of the Central Committee; organizing Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress.

Nghe An Press always strives to accompany the development of the homeland and country, contributing to building Vietnam to become more and more prosperous and civilized as Uncle Ho always wished.

Offering flowers and incense to commemorate President Ho Chi Minh, the delegation expressed their respect and infinite gratitude for his great contributions, the genius leader of our Party and people, an outstanding activist of the international communist and workers' movement, who devoted and sacrificed his whole life to the cause of national liberation, class liberation, and the struggle for peace and happiness of the Vietnamese people and people of the world.

On the same day, the delegation of the Provincial Journalists Association offered incense at Da Pagoda - The only pagoda in Vietnam is worshiping 512 martyrs who are journalists and reporters who heroically sacrificed their lives in the resistance wars to protect the Fatherland..

The delegation of the Provincial Journalists Association also visited, encouraged, and presented gifts to Journalist Tran Van Hien - former Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper, who had worked hard to find the names of martyr journalists to bring them to worship at Da Pagoda.
